I Just Took Plan B About An Hour Ago. However,
I couldn’t see if the bits of the pill was out becauseit was white. I know that plan b takes around 2 hours to be absorbed. I looked up and saw that vomiting was a side effect. However, i wasnt vomiting. It was because i coughed so hard that a a small amount of food came out. But i still want to make sure that it wasnt a concern enough that i have to retake the pill
Brief Answer:
I would suggest you should take it again.
Detailed Answer:
Hi and Welcome to "Ask A Doctor" service. I have read your question and here is my advice .
As you said very rightly that the pills take two hours to be absorbed , if you have vomited it within an hour, the best plan would be to take it again.
Infact the pills may not be seen in the vomitus because it is quite changed in the stomach but that does not necessarily mean it was not vomited. So if vomiting is with in 2 hours after taking the pill , we advise to take it again.
Please note that some spotting may occur after taking this pill. And also your expected next menses may come a few days earlier or late so don't be worried about that , howe'ver if late by more then a week you shoud get pregnancy test done.
Hopes I have answered your question. I will be glad to answer any further question about this. kind Regards Dr Rahman.
