Question 1

will the treatment for chlamydias (antibiotics) rid system of meth?

Accepted Answer

No: The antibiotics do nothing with the meth. It is metabolized separately from the antibiotics and will eventually disappear from the body over time.Special studies of your hair could show trace amounts within the hair that persists for quite a while.

Question 2

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 3

how for antibiotics to leave system completely?

Accepted Answer

Depends non Abic: Different antibiotics have different half lives.  A half life is the time it takes for one half of the antibiotic to be eliminated and excreted from the body.  It is considered that a drug has been eliminated 5 half lives after taking the last dose.

Question 4

how long does it take for antibiotics to leave system completely?

Accepted Answer

Depends on the drug: The times to clear vary a lot.

Question 5

what is the "deadline" for getting antibiotics in your system to reverse lymes disease after you've been bitten? is there a timeframe where antibiotics will reverse it or when it is likely too late?

Accepted Answer

: There is no true deadline, it can be treated in early phase (after suspected tick exposure and rash - a few days to one month) or late phase (when late symptoms occur such as arthritis or neurologic symptoms - months to years), only the duration of treatment is much longer in late phase.

Question 6

what is better for your immune system, antibiotics or getting over something yourself?

Accepted Answer

2nd choice: Somewhat depends on the symptoms and signs but generally antibiotics should be reserved for only bacterial infections though some viral infections do respond to antivirals.

Question 7

if you were on antibiotics and were able to donate plasma, would donating plasma filter out and eliminate the antibiotics in my system?

Accepted Answer

Antibiotic Question: Different antibiotics distribute differently in the body. Some of them are found mostly in plasma, whereas others may distribute to the tissues such as with azithromycin. The bigger question is- 'are you healthy enough to donate plasma now'? Because if you're on antibiotics, I tend to think 'something' about you must not be 100%. Best to double check with your doc, or an ID doc if you can find one

Question 8

on antibiotics amoxicillin need to do complete  regular bloodtests  can i do them or how long do i wait for antibiotics  to leave system  if so?

Accepted Answer

All depends on what: you are looking for. Antibiotics (against-life-things, i.e. poisons to micro-organisms which most humans tolerate well) do not alter most blood test values. However, values resulting from infection: blood cultures, white blood cell concentrations, or specific antibody concentrations related to infection (beyond current clinical tests) would change if reflect antibiotic relevant infection change.

Question 9

i took a preventative dose of 200mg doxycycline mono and was  able to to donate plasma.  did donating plasma take the antibiotics from my system?

Accepted Answer

Odd statement: They should not have collected your plasma if you took any antibiotics in the days prior to selling/donating this product. You place anyone who receives the material at risk of a life threatening allergic reaction if they have an allergy to that material. Yes, you pass some of the antibiotic into any body fluids.

Question 10

if a child aged 4 gets covid with minimal symptoms(100 fever and cough) and he recovered within a week without any antibiotic. his immune system would be weak during the period he had covid?

Accepted Answer

: A child who was infected with COVID would not benefit at all from an antibiotic since COVID is a viral infection.  If there was a second infection, with bacteria, then antibiotics could help.  The fact that the young child recovered points to a healthy immune system working normally and not excessively.  No weak immune system here.
