A member asked:

Since i've taken biaxin (clarithromycin) so many times in the past, will it help again this time? when will it start working? i started taking it yesterday evening?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Wait and see: The bacteria that causes Strep throat can become resistant to Biaxin (clarithromycin). If a throat culture was done, the resistance pattern to Biaxin (clarithromycin) can be tested. See how you feel in the next 2 days. If you do not feel better, then see your doctor again.

Dr Rhoads and another doctor agreed
