This is my 1st week of my 2nd pack. I was driving and I took my pill 2 minutes later. Unfortunately I didn't have water at the moment so I dry swallowed the pill. I had enough saliva to swallow, but it partially dissolved in the back of my mouth. I was able to obtain water a couple minutes later and drank a cup full. I felt the medicine go down, but I'm anxious that it wasn't effective. So my question is if dry swallowing is bad and should I take another pill? Pls help. Thanks.

If the pill partially dissolved in the back of your mouth and you swallowed the rest of it, you should be fine. Some pills are even made to be dissolved in the mouth so unless you spit any of it I wouldn't consider this concerning.
Thank you so much @Mackintosh !
