Should I take another pill?
| Wed, 03-15-2006 - 7:40pm |
Hi...I took my pill like I normally do everyday and today about 3 hours after I took it, I got sick and haven't been able to keep anything down since. My question is, do I assume the pill didn't stay down and take another one as though I'd missed a pill or go along like everything is normal...or another suggestion? Has this happened to anyone before? Thanks in advance for the responses :)

Hi kitkatkimbo5, welcome!
It normally takes about 2 hours after swallowing a pill for the hormones to be digested and in your bloodstream. If you are sure it was more than 2 hours after your pill when you got sick you should be ok. If it was less than 2 hours and you are still throwing up there is no point in taking another pill right now and vomiting it. I think just to be on the safe side you should use back-up until you have taken at least 7 active pills in a row.
Thanks for posting. I hope you are feeling better soon. Let us know how you're doing, ok?
Good luck,
Jill
