In reply to Mandy Moore. Hello Mandy, antibiotics do cause a delay in the start of your period. This might be the reason.

I started taking Clarithromycin for bacterial pneumonia April 15th. Since April 17th, I have had a light period lasting over a month. Currently waiting on my doctors appointment but should I be worried?

In reply to Aisha. Hello there Aisha, yes, anti-biotics can definitely affect or even cause your cycle to start at a later date and also can cause the body to produce weird symptoms. All the best.

In reply to Sammie12. Hi, I started taking clarithromycin, rabeprozle and metronidazole for my PUD but have taken metrondazole for uti but didn't complete the dosage for the treatment before starting the new course. Am supposed to see my period today but has started. Am feeling cramps around my abdomen radiating to my legs and my breast is somehow paining me. I did pregnancy test six days ago. Pls am worried.

Hi there Neika! Taking antibiotics can cause a delayed period or a missed period. And yes, your periods might be disturbed because of those antibiotics you are taking. Regards
