Should Medicines Be Retaken After Vomiting Within 5 Minutes Of Taking Medicines?
our daughter,24, had knee cap repair and is on 2- 10 mg of Hydrocodan, but she just threw it all up. Is it in her system yet....how soon can she retake. We just gave her nausea medicine as well.....the generic of Zofran. All of it came up within 5 minutes of taking them. We don t want her to have pain through the night....so what would you suggest?

Hi, I understand your concern.n be repeated after vomiting medicine In case the pill is seen in vomitus, the dose of pain killer can be repeated after vomiting medicine is digested .Repeat with some food/ milk But if the vomit was after quite a time of taking pain pill, give half the dose if the pain starts- again with some food/milk. Thanks.
