I assume you mean to purge by vomitting? Anyway, if you must purge, then just take your medication afterwards when they will actually have a chance to become absorbed.

To answer your question though, food usually takes 4 hours to pass from your stomach to your duodenum (the first part of your small intestine). If you're just eating the tablets on their own with water though, it'll take much less.
