I took my Leeloo Gé pill but I broke it between my teeth by mistake and swallowed it all in pieces, is it still effective? Thanks in advance

Hello !
Normally, a crunchy dose should not affect the effectiveness of the contraception. So don't worry!
You can continue to take your pill regularly by swallowing it whole
Wishing you a good day,

Thank you for your quick answer! What about a pill dissolved in water?
Alexandre Campeau Calfat · 4 years ago
It is certainly ideal to take the entire tablet by swallowing it. There is little evidence to suggest that there is any loss of efficacy with dissolution
For these reasons, I really suggest that you swallow the entire tablet without compromising its integrity
Did I answer your question correctly?

Yes I think so, thank you! It happened to me during this week that the pill started to dissolve in my mouth before I swallowed it, I was afraid that I was not protected anymore

No, this way, the efficiency is maintained! :)
