Do Doxycline And Tinidazole Become Ineffective If Vomited Out?

A friend was prescribed Doxycline and Tinidazole for Clamydia. She was taking both pills twice a day and began vomiting after eating on the 4th day. Did she vomit the medication out her system and will the medication still work, since she vomited while eating?

Hi,

I understand your concern.

If your friend has vomited within 2 hours after taking the pills, then, the pills might have been vomited out too.

However, should take other dosage regularly as prescribed.

All the best.
