Vomit after 3 hours of taking antibiotic, still effective?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably OK: Three hours after taking an antibiotic, most of it has passed out of the stomach and been absorbed . If you threw up at that point, the antibiotic would still be system . Unless this is happening frequently, I think you are OK. Good luck.
