do I take my meds again if I throw them up?
« on: January 01, 2014, 11:47:58 pm »
So im sick today its just getting worse as the day gose on I feel like I did when I started getting sick last time and found out I have hiv. No appetite diarrhea now throwing up. I took my pills at 7pm and at 8:25pm I threw up a lot probably most if not all that was in my stomach. I saw something red come out I think it could have been my prezista. What should I do? Take all my pills again. Not take them and call the dr at 8 or 9 am when they open? I dont want to miss a dose. Thanks

I would not take the meds again today . I would call your doctor if you are still unwell tomorrow because you don't want to let what's making you sick and throwing up your meds rock on for many days . You probably absorbed some of the drugs so that's why I say do not take more ... see your doc asap if you are throwing up tomorrow, hopefully you wont be  .
