Half life of azithromycin in humans

Common Questions and Answers about Half life of azithromycin in humans

zithromax

Avatar f tn The first 37 hours - half of the drug is excreted in Urine and feces. Then over the next 37 hours half of what is left in the body is excreted. Then in another 37 hours, half of what is left (1/8) is excreted and so on. It takes approximately 4 to 5 days for you not to have any blocking action from the Sub. Hope this helps --- the reason for all the different results is the testing is done by different labs and then posted by different 'authorities' on the web. All the best.

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

Avatar f tn The half-life of a drug is how long it takes for half of it to be eliminated from the bloodstream. Hope that helps.
6298176 tn?1380134459 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.
Avatar f tn 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?
1084115 tn?1385228589 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.
Avatar n tn 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.
690327 tn?1255354511 A family acquaintance who wished to remain nameless said Johnny's story was inspiring to her. "I have known Johnny since he was a baby," she said. "He was the prettiest baby I had ever seen. It was very distressing when he began to suffer health problems." She said Johnny's story is really remarkable. "Pete has done a fantastic job educating anyone who walks through those doors," she said. "I know what an impact he made in my life.
Avatar m tn CAN I GIVE MY CAT AZITHROMYCIN AND IF YES HOW MUCH I GOT SOME FOR MYSELF AND THEY ARE 250 MG TY
Avatar f tn That means that in a minimum of 37 hours, half of the stuff is gone from your body -- that means that over the next 37 hours half of what is left in the body (1/4th of the total) is also removed -- then half of that over the next 37 hours and so on. Bottom line is that Sub stays in your body for many days --- also the longer you use it the longer it takes for it to clear the body. Hope this helps. All the best.

535882 tn?1396576685 whats the half life for syntriod. about how much time does it take to build up in you and also leave your system?
Avatar m tn Howdy, I've been dealing with major back and neck pain for the last week. Yesterday around 11a, I took a 5mg Flexeril and boy did it do wonders. After a brief nap, most of my pain greatly subsided. The following hours, about 10p, I did see an uptick in stiffness but nothing compared to the pain before the Flexeril. I know Flexeril has an unusually long half-life, about 18 hrs.
Avatar m tn I know the answer to that question but im not going to tell you and Im not trying to be mean, I am in day 13 Of suboxone withdrawal, and I can honesly say I never want to touch an opiate again, Are you just not ready to be clean or do you have a serious medical condition? You cant keep switching poisons to avoid W/D it will catch up to you one day.Im curious what your story is, Do you not think being chained to these drugs is the most awful feeling that there is?
Avatar f tn When you say "Some people who have it genitally also have it orally" do you mean either type or HSV-2?? Thanks again!
Avatar f tn Azithrimycin is effective therefore I would think that maybe something else was allowed to take root in the Chlamydia’s place? If this isn’t the case then the Azithromycin did not in fact eradicate the infection and, as you suggest the doctor may want to use a different antibiotic like Doxy. I would suggest that you keep a journal, drink plenty of water, jot down these questions and others you think of and show up to your next appointment prepared to get answers.
Avatar n tn today, i had a severe pain on the left side of my chest. like in my left breast, extending towards the side and back. it's constant pain and i feel like vomiting a bit because of that pain. it got so severe that i had to lie down and then it felt a bit better but it's still throbbing. i recently got put on antibiotics (azithromycin) for a throat infection, but these pains are not a side effect.
Avatar m tn About 8 months ago, I had unprotected sex with a co worker. At first she gave me oral, which was by far the worst oral I've ever received in my life. Basically a cheese grater but rougher. 2 weeks later I developed dysuria and went to the doctor for it. They took a urinalysis. Turns out I got chlamydia from her. I got prescribed 1g of azithromycin. I went to go pick up my medication and took it without thinking too much about it.
973741 tn?1342342773 While exercise is important for heart health if you're a sedentary person who basically only moves when you formally exercise, I will repeat, long-term studies that have been going on for decades of actual living humans in various communities around the world do not find formal exercise to be important to long life or healthy life.
Avatar n tn 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). I did it like this because initially I was planning on taking only 1g but I’m freaking out and I don’t know what to do which is the reason I took half gram more and then I decided to write in here before I do anything else. I just need your opinion on the matter, it will be highly appreciated.
Avatar m tn The purpose of patents is to protect ideas that investigators hope to investigate. There is no credible evidence that I am aware of that FIV causes disease in humans. Please do not worry and do not worry about your cat, the possiblity of it infecting you or you infecting your girlfriend.
Avatar m tn Azithromycin is thought to be highly effective for treatment of chlamydial infection although one recent report has suggested that the treatment failure rate may be increasing slightly (despite this, the vast majority of chlamydial infections will still be successfully treated with azithromycin).
Avatar f tn Neutrophils going high is probably due a bacterial infection from some water that got in your ear. Maybe you can call your doc and ask if another round of Azithromycin is wise, or maybe there's a different antibiotic to try. Since the antiviral didn't help and your lymphocytes (which fight viruses) aren't high, it's probably not a virus. Having a WBC at 14 is just the usual elevation for an infection. Besides, AFAIK a leukemia of neutrophils is rare.
