A member asked:

If i have an std and i take my antibiotic tablet and vomit a few hours later will the antibiotic still be affective?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Maybe: The pill after two hours may have made its way far enough down the digestive tract to escape the retrograde intestinal contractions caused by vomiting. If you did not detect the pill or pill residue in the emesis, you probably retained the majority of the medicine. Good luck!
