A member asked:
If you were on antibiotics and were able to donate plasma, would donating plasma filter out and eliminate the antibiotics in my system?

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
