How long does Amoxicillin and Clarithromycin and Lansoprazole stay in your body?

The elimination half-life of amoxicillin and clarithromycin and lansoprazole is about 3 to 4 hours at 250 mg, rising to 5 to 7 hours at 500 mg (dose-dependent) — the time it takes the body to clear about half of it. As a rule of thumb, a medicine is mostly gone after roughly 4 to 5 half-lives, though this varies from person to person with age and kidney or liver function. Clarithromycin has slightly nonlinear, dose-dependent kinetics, so the elimination half-life lengthens with higher doses (about 3-4 hours at 250 mg twice daily, 5-7 hours at 500 mg). Its active metabolite, 14-hydroxyclarithromycin (14-OH clarithromycin), outlasts the parent, with an elimination half-life of about 5-6 hours at 250 mg and 7-9 hours at 500 mg. Clarithromycin is cleared partly by the kidneys, so the half-life is prolonged and the drug accumulates in renal impairment (the label advises dose reduction when creatinine clearance is under 30 mL/min). In hepatic impairment, steady-state clarithromycin levels are unchanged but 14-OH metabolite levels are lower.

Frequently asked questions

How much does Prevpac (Copackaged) cost?

Nobody can tell you what you will pay — your price is set by your insurer's formulary, your deductible and the pharmacy's markup, and none of those are published. What IS published is what the pharmacy paid to acquire it: about $0.04 per ml, per the CMS NADAC survey. Treat that as the floor, not the quote — ask the pharmacist for the cash price as well as your copay, because for cheap generics the cash price often wins.
