hi people, help! i was prescribed erythromycin for a sinus infection on monday that wasn't. i started taking them and by thursday my blood pressure was dangerously low so by friday my practice nurse stopped them. since last night and today i had a really sore stomach and stinky gas, but i am coeliac, i ate some fries which maybe i shouldn't have done. my question is how long do the side effects of this medication take to leave your body.l?

    I can't find a lot on this with any specific timescale. It may be that it is different for everyone. The only thing it says is that side effects should go away once you have finished or stopped the medication. I would phone your doctor for further information.
