Hello, i have been taking prescribed antibiotics in a pill form for a few days but today about 20 minutes after i took one, i vomited. is this normal?

No: Some antibiotics can irritate the stomach and are best taken with or just after food. Others are best absorbed on an empty stomach,however. Your pharmacist can advise you about your medications and how to take them.
