A member asked:
I puked three hours after taking azithromycin for chlamydia. is there a chance the medicine didn't work? do i need to go get another dosage?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No need to re-treat: Azithromycin is absobed into the bloodstream within an hour. At 3 hours, no worries -- treatment will be effective and you don't need another dose.
