A member asked:
Taking tablet clarithromycin 500 mg per day for 5 days for tonsilits. does clarithromycin affect fertility?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Clarithromycin: You do not seem to be on any other medications and are otherwise healthy. There is no evidence that Clarithromycin affects fertility. Regardless, it does not matter as you need to treat the existing infection which would affect fertility more than the antibiotic.
