Should I take another dose of antibiotics if I vomited about 75 minutes after taking it?

No, you should not take another dose of antibiotics if you have vomited approximately 75 minutes after taking it. In general, it is considered that a medication taken at least 1 hour before vomiting has had enough time to be absorbed, at least partially. Therefore, you should follow the dosage as if you had not vomited and take the second dose at the scheduled time. If nausea or vomiting becomes a recurring issue, you may consider taking an anti-nausea medication before taking the antibiotic. Consult with a pharmacist to determine the appropriate dosage and timing for this.
