Hillary Clinton is "healthy and fit to serve" as US president, says her doctor, as her campaign released updated medical information.
The statement said the Democratic presidential nominee "continues to improve" after a pneumonia diagnosis.
The campaign also said Mrs Clinton's physician found her complete physical examination was "normal" and she is in "excellent mental condition".
Clinton aides say she will return to the campaign trail on Thursday.
Dr Lisa Bardack said Mrs Clinton, 68, was "recovering well with antibiotics and rest" after she felt dizzy at a 9/11 memorial ceremony on Sunday.
The campaign said she had a chest scan on Friday that showed a "mild, non-contagious bacterial pneumonia".
Mrs Clinton - who is recuperating at her suburban New York home - was treated with an antibiotic called Levaquin, which she was prescribed for 10 days.
"She continues to remain healthy and fit to serve as President of the United States," concluded Dr Bardack in the letter.
The physician said Mrs Clinton was up to date on all vaccines, including two given to help prevent pneumonia, Prevnar and Pneumovax.
The letter did not state when she received those those vaccines.
Mrs Clinton's blood pressure (of 100 over 70) and total cholesterol (189) were all within healthy levels, according to the letter.
The former Secretary of State also had a normal mammogram and breast ultrasound, said the doctor.
She takes thyroid and allergy medicines and the blood thinner Coumadin, prescribed after she suffered a blood clot resulting from a 2012 concussion.
The blood clot was said to have been in a vein in the space between the brain and the skull behind the right ear.
The complication led Mrs Clinton to spend a few days in hospital and take a month off from her job at the State Department.
Her Republican presidential rival Donald Trump has said he plans to release details this week of a recent physical.
Mr Trump handed over a one-page summary of that examination while appearing on The Dr Oz Show on Wednesday.
The syndicated television show will not be broadcast until Thursday and the campaign declined to immediately disclose the results.
