But if she vomits, is it possible to decrease the effectiveness of the medication? How long does it take to be absorbed into the body?

Question

Hello, my daughter is taking cefprozil for strep throat and an ear infection at the same time. She started last night. She has a very bad stomach ache and vomited several times today. This seems to be a side effect of the cefprozil.

Hi, ma'am, Did your child vomit more than an hour after taking the antibiotic? If so, a sufficient amount should have been absorbed. Do you think it is the taste that is causing your child problems? I have not received any feedback from you. I invite you to contact your pharmacist directly for a consultation tailored to your needs. Sincerely, Tom Samaha, pharmacist
