A member asked:

I took my 2 antibiotics at 615 am and vomited at 645am. should i retake the medicine?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Antibiotic: If the antibiotic is making you vomit, you may want to call your doctor to change it to another one, or try taking it with food instead of an empty stomach, the dose you got is probably gone.
