A member asked:
If i vomit 2 hours after taking azithromycin do i need to take another dose?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No need: Azithromycin does this from time to time, usually when a single large dose is used for some infections, and the effect of early vomiting has been studied. That research shows that as long as the drug is retained at least 30 minutes before vomiting, enough is absorbed and retained to do the job. However, you should be retested in a few weeks to make sure you were cured. Good luck!
