Hello, today I took the Daylette contraceptive pill and I didn't wash it down with water, I just put it on my tongue and swallowed it. Is it possible that it is stuck in the esophagus? I had discomfort in my throat and a feeling of pressure. After about 15 minutes I ate a sandwich and washed it down with plenty of water, should I take an extra pill or was it absorbed?

The discomfort and feeling of pressure in the throat was most likely due to irritation of the throat wall or esophagus by the tablet. Therefore, there is no need to take another contraceptive pill.
According to the manufacturer: "The tablets should be taken every day, at about the same time of day, in the order indicated on the blister, with a small amount of liquid if necessary." To reduce the risk of irritation of the throat wall and esophagus, it is worth considering taking the tablet with a glass of cooled, boiled water each time.
