Does Taking Biaxin For Flu Like Symptoms Delays Period?

On 11/08 i went to the doctor for flu like symptoms they prescribed a zpack, and medrol. I missed my period on 12/04 and I was thinking it was because of the medrol. On 12/18 I went back to the doctor and he prescribed biaxin. I missed my period again on 01/04. I am having sex and not using birth control. Could I have missed me period again because of the biaxin?

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

Biaxin is not known to cause delayed or irregular periods.

If you are currently sexually active and not using any contraception then you need to rule out pregnancy by doing a home pregnancy test. These tests are usually accurately able to detect pregnancy.

Physical illness or stress is one of the other causes of a delay in menstruation. If the test is negative then it is possible that your current illness is causing your period irregularity.

I hope this helps
