Default Antibiotics

I think I have strep or something similar, as I have had it before. Sore throat, fever, aches, congestion, etc...

Can I still fly while taking antibiotics? If not, how long do I need to be off of it? Last time, I was prescribed Avelox (before I flew for a living), if that helps.

Default Re: Antibiotics

You can take them if you are not too sick. If you are sick though, are you a danger in the cockpit?
