A member asked:
Would throwing up 5 hours after taking birth control pill with a meal be long enough for the pill to have effectively absorbed?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Assuming you don't have any underlying medical conditions that predispose you to slower gastric transit times, then 5 hours is PLENTY of time for the pill to have been absorbed prior to your vomiting. For normal people, we usually say that if it's been 60 minutes, then you're definitely ok. But between 15 and 60 minutes, that's where it gets trickier.
