I know that you have mentioned that your pill might be ineffective if you have diarrhea within 2 hours of taking your pill. Well, this weekend I took my pill and a little over the 2 hour window, I had diarrhea. Do you think I'd be ok?

Hi hma109, welcome back!


I think the sort of diarrhea that would be a problem is a very severe stomach emptying case as though you took Phospho-soda to clean you out before a colonoscopy. I'm betting, since it occurred 2 hours after you took your pill, that you are fine. But, back-up never hurts.
