Vomit 6 hours after taking my pills.

[yperoxos]

I know this is a silly one but please confirm. I had to vomit 6 hours after taking my pills today when I realised my food was beyond expiry date even though it tasted fine.

Is there any chance this affected the drug levels in my system?

Thank you.

hey yperoxos! this is a common question--typically most medicines are absorbed into the system within 1-2 hours after taking pills. if you threw up 2 or more hours after taking your medicines (unless you actually saw the pills in the vomit), there is no reason to worry about whether you got the medicines in your system or whether you need to retake the medications.

hope this helps.
