Can Diarrhea Effect Birth Control?
Posted: 11-12-07 23:34pm

In the information packet that came with my birth control it says that having diarrhea or vomiting can cause the pill to not be absorbed... the other night I had moderate diarrhea about 7 hours after taking my pill, is this enough time for the pill to be absorbed... should I be worried?

It should have been absorbed and with diarrhea it's only when moderate to severe I beleive but if you are worried check with your pharmacist or Dr.

It takes less than 7 hours so I'm pretty sure you are fine.
