You can donate after you have finished a course of oral antibiotics for a bacterial or viral infection as long as you have taken the last pill as of the date of donation. If you received an antibiotic by injection, you can donate as long as it has been 10 days since your last injection.
Your Second Donation Begins the Process of Helping Save Lives! The first donation is used only after a second donation is completed. Only then can we begin to use your plasma to produce life-saving therapies to help treat a variety of diseases and conditions. FDA regulations state that the maximum frequency of donation is once in a two-day period, and no more than twice in a seven-day period. Donating plasma the second time will take much less time out of your day than your first visit to our donation center. We understand that your time is valuable and we strive to make your experience as pleasant and convenient as possible!
