If you have diarrhea right after taking medication does your body still asorb it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sure, no problem: Diarrhea is a lower intestinal problem. It has no effect on the stomach or upper intestine, where drugs are absorbed. If you vomited soon after taking the drug (within 30 minutes or so) it might be a different story.
