Quite a large part of the vibin mini contraceptive pill dissolved in my mouth. Unfortunately, I couldn't swallow the pill, so I kept it in the mouth longer, so it largely dissolved in them. Should I take another one to protect myself?

I don't know if anyone has conducted studies on the effectiveness of the drug after dissolving in the mouth. The manufacturer provides information on the instability of the drug in a specific environment, if such a situation is found during clinical trials.
Therefore, I believe that taking an additional dose of the drug is not necessary.
So contraception should still work?

On the tongue there was - most likely - a part of the dissolved shell covering the drug. At most, the rate of absorption of active substances may change. The summary of product characteristics does not mention possible impairment due to the effect of hydrochloric acid in the stomach on the tablet.
but even if some of the drug would remain in the mouth, it still does not go where the swallowed tablet is ? I didn't spit anything out, I just held the pill in my mouth for a while
I don't know if you will understand? I'm very worried about this is the first time this has happened to me

Do not chew or chew the contraceptive pill. It is difficult to assess how reconstitution of the tablet will affect the absorption of the active substances. Usually, film-coated tablets are designed to protect the stomach from the effects of the drug (and vice versa) and to ensure an even release of the active substance. I don't think there is a need for an additional dose of the drug.
