Is It Safe To Take Z Pack For Infection?
I have taken a Z pack for infection on June 6th on June 10th. Could get the accessed tooth extracted waiting for Kidney Foundation Grant. The tooth is scheduled to be extracted on the 19th. Will the antibiotic still protect me from systemic infection? The area now has a hard knot that is not painful.

Hello welcome to 'Ask A Doctor' service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advise.
The Mentioned antibiotic cannot remain in circulation after 9 days. So it cannot protect now after 9 days. If before tooth extraction, prophylactic antibiotic needed than again antibiotic course need to be started.
Hope I have answered your question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
