If you vomit, the contents of your stomach and GI tract will be expunged from your body. It depends on how long the medication was in your system, as they all have specific amounts of time required to be absorbed into your body.

Some coatings delay the absorption, just as certain controlled release medications. Others start to break down in your esophagus and begin to enter your blood stream before they have fully digested in your stomach.

The general rule of thumb is that if you threw up within an hour of taking medications, it wasn't absorbed. You should consult a pharmacist before doubling up on any medications, because even a small absorption amount could lead to an overdose situation.

If you throw up the first two treatments of a new pill is it still effective?

That depends on how long after you took the pills you threw up and the rate of absorption of the medicine. If the medicine is absorbed really fast and you trew up quite a while later, then it was effective. On the other hand, if the medicine is absorbed slowly and you threw up soon after taking it, then it was not effective. For particular details about your medicine, you will have to consult your doctor or a pharmacist.
