A member asked:
I vomited a tad bit after an hour and a half of taking azithromycin and had diarrhea 40 minutes of taking it. will this decrease its effectiveness

Shouldn't: Transit time through the stomach is variable but the antibiotic should have made it through in 30-45 minutes, especially if you didn't take it with food.
