GI Absorption of BCP: You did not indicate the brand of your birth control pills or the kind of food eaten. Birth control pills are readily absorbed in the GI tract (gastrointestinal tract) quickly. You took your pills 20 minutes after eating as you instructed. You vomited food about 4 hours later. It is safe to assume that even though you vomited food, the contents of the bcps was most likely already absorbed.
