Correct answer: DSeek pharmacy or clinical advice promptly because another dose may be needed

Vomiting soon after emergency contraception may reduce absorption and requires timely advice. In this vignette, "Seek pharmacy or clinical advice promptly because another dose may be needed" is the safest single best answer. The other options are less appropriate because they miss the key clinical risk, conflict with UK medicines guidance, or delay needed review.
