chew birth control?

Nina
Hi everyone!
Today I was watching TV while taking my pill and I accidentally chewed on it so hard that it burst open. I take a gel pill and I had no idea that liquid was inside it. That being said, I have heard stuff about how some pills are harmful to take when chewed, also about how birth control isn't as effective when chewed.
Has anyone done this and can tell me what happened? Or does anyone know any information on what this means? There isn't much on it on the internet.
Thanks!!
