Could biaxin (clarithromycin) cause a delay or miss a period?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Well...maybe...: I have not actually heard of an antibiotic directly causing a delay of a period. However, presuming that there was a significant infection (which was then treated with the biaxin) the infection and the effects may have interrupted your normal cycle. Of course a delayed period may be due to other issues. Could you be pregnant?
