When birth control sticks to your throat does is it still effective?

Every single time i take my pill it feels like it sticks and doesn't go down right. If it is stuck would it count as missing a pill?When birth control sticks to your throat does is it still effective?
it is still effective. I have a hard time swallowing pills and I take alot everyday. have bread on hand and when you take your pill take a piece of bread and chew a little then swallow it. It makes the pill go down.When birth control sticks to your throat does is it still effective?
It eventually goes down. If not, it will dissolve in your blood stream anyway, so unless you spit it back out, it doesn't count as missing a dose.
Usually it is just a feeling that the pill is stuck in your gullet. This is because, you can feel food or fluid going down the upper 1/3 of your gut but below that, you become subconsicious of it. The gut moves the food via peristalsis (ie in a wave like motion) down the gut. If you feel that the pill is stuck, drink a glass of water slowly.
Try swallowing a few sips of water, and THEN take your pill with more water behind it. Maybe your throat is dry when you pop your pill in your mouth. This should ease things a bit.
