Question 6

is their a way for doctors to tell if you have antibiotics in your system?

Accepted Answer

No such test: No lab test tells if someone is taking an antibiotic. Sometimes the amount of antibiotic in the bloodstream is checked in patients being treated to determine the amount and timing of the next dose (e.g. with the antibiotic vancomycin). If you're taking an antibiotic and being tested for infection, tell your doctor; it can make a difference in testing or in understanding the test result.

Question 7

do antibiotics stay in your system for six months after you take a perscription?

Accepted Answer

Not the way it works: Nope. Not at all. They dissipate from the body over five half lives.

Question 8

how much time can a antibiotic stay in your system, i got a rash?

Accepted Answer

Depends on medicine: Different antibiotics have different 'half-lives' or time they will stay in the body. A good clue to that is 'how many times per day' the doc recommended it. For example, if it's twice a day - probably after 12 hours a good amount of it is gone. If you have a rash now that could be from the antibiotics - as in an allergy, and some antibiotics are more 'known' for this than others. Recc call ur doc

Question 9

how to enhance immune system after taking a lot of antibiotics? can i make it strong back?

Accepted Answer

Probiotics: Being on antibiotics does not necessarily decrease your immune system but does decrease your normal gut flora in which probiotics may help.Of concern would be why on a lot of antibiotics.Also get a well balanced diet,exercise and plenty of water will help.

Question 10

how long does the antibiotic tacozin stay in your system. after a week of iv treatment? thanks!

Accepted Answer

Hmmm: Following single or multiple doses of piperacillin / tazobactam to healthy subjects, the plasma half-life of piperacillin and tazobactam ranged from 0.7 to 1.2 hours and was unaffected by dose or duration of infusion. The elimination half-lives of both piperacillin and tazobactam are increased with decreasing renal clearance.
