Birth control inactive pill?

I was taking my last birth control pill in my pack which is an inactive brown pill. From what I read it only has iron in it, no hormones. My hands were dirty so I got the pill out of the pack with my teeth and when I did I scraped off some of the pill and it dissolved in my mouth. Everything I read on the internet says do not crush or dissolve iron pills. Will this make me sick? I have a crippling fear of throwing up.

Probably not, just a yucky taste in your mouth.
