azithromycin half life

The half-life of a drug is how long it takes for half of it to be eliminated from the bloodstream. Hope that helps.

It has a very long half life, though I can't give you specifics. The dose and how long you were on it does factor in. Your doctor should be able to help you with your questions on this.

decided to quit taking it on a monday felt fine all week untill sun when i went into serious withdrawl! so as far as half life im not sure? but you can bet i was back on it mon! so i guess it was in my system for 6 days after i stopped. p.s.

When will her symptoms disappear? The internet says a week, but the half life of azithromycin is 11 to 14 hours. That would suggest that this medicine is not present after three days. So why wait longer?

About a month and a half ago I tested positive for Chlamydia after experiencing itching on the tip of my penis and burning while urinating. I also had a clear sometimes milky discharge. The clinic that I went to gave me 1gram of Azithromycin and I was sent on my way. Within 2 days all my symptoms cleared up and I felt like everything was normal. Fast forward to now and once again I have a clear/milky discharge.

It’s been exactly four days; today I took 1.5g of azithromycin as a preventive measure against Chlamydia and maybe gonorrhea and syphilis. I just needed to stop freaking out even though I haven’t developed any symptoms. I know I should be safe about Chlamydia but I’m not so sure about the other two. I also made the mistake of taking the first gram in the morning (on an empty stomach) and taking the remaining half gram in the early evening (4h after lunch).

The mean half-life for multiple doses in the body is about 12 days, but very long-term kinetics are dominated by the kinetics of RBCs (half-life 40 days). RBCs store ribavirin for the lifetime of the cells, releasing it into the body's systems when old cells are degraded in the spleen.

ok plz if I am explaining this wrong (anyone feel free to correct me if I am ) The 36 hour half life mean half of the dosage is still active at 36 hours ??

I was perscribed a single 1000mg tablet of Azithromycin (Zithromax). I took it at about 6pm and half way through the night, my neck (sternocleidomastoid near where it connects to my head) was very sore and swollen, my glands dont seem swollen though. Also felt sinus congestion and all around lousy. I have felt this way for over 60hours. Is this a side effect of Azithromycin? Does anyone have any other info for what might cause this?

I'm 7 weeks pregnant and contracted a uterus infection and my doctor prescribed me two cycles of 1000mg of azithromycin and I'd love a second opinion!

s all I had and should cure 93% of the time, if indeed I had it). Because of the long half-life (3 days) of the drug, I am not sure how long I need to wait for symptoms to appear (I have not symptoms now) before I can be sure it worked.

I received treatment(it was confirmed that I had chlamydia) on March 13 with one dose of Azithromycin. After 10 days passed and no relief from symptoms, on the 23rd of March I went back to the clinic and I was given a week course of doxycycline.

"Evaluation of the preventive capacities of a topically applied azithromycin formulation against Lyme borreliosis in a murine model." J Antimicrob Chemother. 2011 Sep 15.

While away from home on business I had one night of repeated unprotected sex with a woman I had just met and 3 days later I developed some mild symptoms of Chlamydia. Today, the 4th day after the encounter, I went to the clinic, described my symptoms, and was treated with one dose of 2g azithromycin (8 x 250mg) in case of gonorrhea as well, since I can't really wait for my test results to come back before I get treatment. I was away for a while and my wife is ready to jump me.

I went out of the country last weeked and I picked up 14 pills of Azithromycin. My questions are is 1G of Azithromycin enough for both, someone suggested I do 1G single does and then on 500mg tab for two days? Is that over kill ? I'd rather do more then less. Any thoughts would be welcome...

For how long a paitent should wait to continue with its sexual life after taking Azithromycin table 1G? Especially, when both the partners have taken the same dose on same day?

No change in my answers. Azithromycin has a half life of 36 hours, staying in the body for days after taking it. Ceftriaxone has a half life of about 9 hours, staying in the body for about 2 days after a single injection. It is time for you to put this behind you and move on.

The tablets have an half life. That means over time the dosage in your body lowers. To a level where it’s not effective anymore. The 1g STAT keeps the dosage high enough to kill chlamydia. Taking 500g first and 250g won’t achieve that level at all or not for long enough.

Tested, and negative for covid. Took azithromycin, and loss my sense of smell and taste since then. Its been month and a half, and still cant get my senses back. Can smell things only close to my nose, and little to no taste. My doctor thinks that is postviral smell loss. Sinuses are clear, my nose too. Everything has cleared up. I dont know if this is a side effect from the medicine. Read on internet that its a rare side effect, but im so terrified.

I took my last pill of Zithromax on thursday the 17th about 8 o'clock that night. My boyfriend and I had unprotected sex Sunday the 20th about 930 that morning. I had stopped discharging the morning before and hadn't the whole day. I read that your suppose to wait 7 days so is it most likely I ended up getting him infected? The morning after I started discharge a lil but it was clear and doesn't have a smell so I'm guessing that is from me being pregnant not this or am I wrong?

I took 500 mg of it every day for three days. I believed Azithromycin was recomended for Chalmydia treatment not for Gonorrhea or, better, wasn't first choice for gonoccoccical infections. Would it really have cured gonorrhea if I had in my throat?
