Brief Answer:
Azithromycin takes 24 hours to clear from the blood.

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for choosing HealthcareMagic for your query.

Though Azithromycin is a very safe antibiotic, yet palpitation and sinus arrhythmia can be a side effect of this medicine.

Time of action of Azithromycin is 24 hours. It will take 24hours from the last dose for the things to settle down. However I would suggest you to get an EKG done at the nearest emergency room to know the nature of those faulty beats to be on safer side.

Let me know if I can assist you further.
Thank you!
