Hi
Thanks for writing to us.
If you vomited after taking the pill, then take an extra pill today, and continue the rest of the pills as usual.
With just diarrhoea, there is nothing to worry.
If this is your first cycle on the pill, then do use a backup method for this month, however if you have been on the pill regularly, you do not need to take any extra precautions.
Take care.

In your second month, provided you used the pill quite consistently so far, you do not need any special extra precautions.
