How Long Does It Take For The Clarithromycin To Clear Off Of The System?

Hi. My son took Clarithromycin for 10 days. At around 6 days, he started having severe panic attacks (which he d never had before in his life!). He stopped taking it two days ago but his panic has not subsided. I should note, he is a regular nicotine and cannabis user and the panic attacks seem to be intensified after using cannabis. How long will it take for the Clarithromycin to work its way completely out of my son s system? Is there anything homeopathic he can do to survive the panic attacks until then? Thank you.

Hi,

Panic attack is psychological disturbances and it is not due to Clarithromycin. Clarithromycin could remain in system up to 6 to 10 hours or even more depends upon the total dose taken, but it is not the cause for panic attack.

But of course narcotic related drug like Nicotine and Cannabis may have some role and effect of these drugs remains in system for much longer time.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
