If bc pill is taken at 2pm , is it still effective after throwing up at night ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
When'd you throw up?: As long as you didn't see the pill in your vomit and if you vomited more than 4hrs after taking the pill, you should be fine.Your body should have completely absorbed the medication . Ethinyl Estradiol is absorbed within 2hrs and the progestins (norethindrone, levonorgesterel ect) are absorbed within 4hrs tops. However, it would be a good idea to use a secondary form of contraception just in case.
