How long for pills to digest?

I have just taken my antibiotics and now I feel very sick to my stomach. How long do I need to hold it in. I don't want to get sick and meds come up to. Please help...Thank YouHow long for pills to digest?
one hour
approximately a half hour depends on the pill
10 - 15 minutes on an empty stomache.
20 - 25 minutes on a full stomache.
Be sure to eat a little something before taking anti-biotics they can irritate your stomache pretty good (i'm sure you know). Just a slice of bread will aid in the digestion.
2 hours is best to absorb into your intestines so hang in there. Have you tried 7up and saltine crackers. Tiny bits of both might help. You might want to do this before your next dose. Some cause stomach upset.
