A member asked:

I took my contraceptive pill (only progesterone pill) then after 20 minutes i throw up . do i need to take another pill or it gave its effect?!

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Safer take another: The speed of absorption of the hormone in your contraceptive pill is not quite predictable and will depend on the contents of your stomach and GI tract and other factors. To be safe, it might be best to take another pill .
