Vomiting many hrs after taking birth control and antibiotics?!

Vomiting many hrs after taking birth control and antibiotics?

ok so I was in the er sunday night after many weeks of tummy trouble (diarrhea) and they perscribed antibiotics...flaygl 500mg 3x a day with food...I had already been feeling weak and knew I had lost most nutrients. so the next day I took the meds and started birth control pill (loestrin 24 fe) after checking with the pharmacist and taking them at different times with food always...I started feeling nasious. the next morning I woke up puking and the next day I took all the meds again but couldnt sleep because I felt so nasious and finally vomited everything and I mean everything I ate yesterday...at like 4:30am. the dr believes it was the antibiotics making me sick and said it was a very harsh kind...not uncommon at all. so now the plan of action is dont take antibiotics and try to eat. I can barely eat my stomach is so messed up. I find it very unusual that it was so many hrs after eating that I puked each time and was hoping to get a 2nd opinion on the meds :)

also does it count as having taken 2 days of birth control even though I threw up umm more than 8 hrs later both times?

First things first. Your health is first here, so slowly start eating again. Try dry toast and tea. See if your tummy settles, then start slowly eating a little more. Drink oral rehydration beverages (like Pedialyte), an ounce per hour just to be on the safe side. Avoid fats and dairy.

Then, when you feel better, start worrying about BC. This is something you can control. You might want to avoid sex for a few days and use barrier methods (condom) in the meantime. Next period, start your BC pills.
