How long does a 6 pill pack of azithromycin stay in your system? can i take metamucil while taking this med?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
OK, 10 days: Azithromycin persists inside the body's cells for around 10 days after the last dose. It's OK to take both azithro and fiber supplements like Metamucil.
