A member asked:
If i vomit 4 hours after azithromycin do i need to take another dose?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No need: Assuming treatment is for chlamydia, the infection is reliably cured as long as vomiting doesn't occur within 30 minutes or so. After that, enough drug is absorbed to be effective, and for sure re-dosing is not necessary after 4 hours.
