I wouldn't: It takes an average of 2-3 days for what you put in your mouth to travel the ~30 feet of your digestive system to be pooped out. If you have continuous diarrhea it takes a day. The pill dissolves & is absorbed just beyond the stomach a few hours after taking it. In the situation you describe the pill had time to be absorbed & work.
