I know this is gross

But I have the flu, I took my pill at 430 and started getting sick around 9...am I in the clear? It was my 5th pill of week one on Ortho TriCyclin. Thanks

Hi Sarah, welcome!

Awww… I’m sorry you’re sick! You should be in the clear as far as todays pill is concerned. The rule of thumb is that the hormones in your pill will have been digested within 2 hours after you take it, so if you were sick more than 4 hours later you should be ok as far as not missing a dose. I hope you are feeling better soon.

(((hugs)))
