Question
Hi there. I know that vomiting shortly after taking a pill can result in ineffective absorption of a pill, but I was just wondering if 'vomiting' caused by indigestion, i.e. vomiting in one's mouth (gross, I know) could also impact the pill in this way.
Thanks!
Thanks!

Sorry - I've just realised I may have posted this in the wrong thread, seeing as though I'm technically not a newbie. Sorry about that! I'm new to the new layout.

Re: Question
Hi Aj,
So, this is one of those scenarios where we're not 100% comfortable saying it had no effect on your pill. However, it takes 2-3 hours after taking a pill for the pill to absorb, so if the vomiting happened after that window, then it would not have had an effect.

Re: Question
Okay, thank you very much. It occurred only 50 minutes after taking the pill. I wasn't comfortable with what happened so I took another pill two hours later as a precaution. I still had symptoms of indigestion (burping etc.), but no other vomiting, so I assume my effectiveness should be fine now. Is that correct?
