Question

Should I take another pill if I vomited?

Greetings i-base, I had excess alcohol on my 13th day of PEP then the next day I took my pep at 3pm and vomited heavily at 4:40pm. Is it advisable to take another pill?

Answer

Hi, how are you doing?

As you vomited within 2 hours of taking PEP it is advisable to take PEP again. You would be able to continue taking PEP at 3pm after this if this time is still best for you.

    Hi Frank, there is no more risk of a test result being positive. As an hour and a half is long enough for most of the drug to be absorbed, there has been no risk to the treatment not working.

    I didn’t take another pill but continued taking my pill as usual,is there a risk of testing positive?
