Can you substitute Clendix for Zithromax for throat infection? ## Can I substitute Zithromaz or Amococilian for Clendix? ## It really depends on the type, and severity of the infection being treated. It would be best to take the medication your doctor has instructed you to take and complete the entire course of treatment. The FDA lists the typical side effects of antibiotics as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, diarrhea, and non-allergic skin rash. Is there anything I can help with?

I have been taking Zithromax for a stubborn sinus infection and have not gotten any better but actually worse, so my Dr switched me to Bactrim. I know that Zpack remains in your system for about ten days. Is it ok to mix them? Should I expect side effects? ## You should follow your doctor's prescribing instructions. The FDA lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, diarrhea, non-allergic skin rash, and headache. How are you doing, now? Has there been any change?

How many years will Zithromax pills last? ## my azithromycin has expired by 2 mos. is it still good ## If they are still sealed in the original factory container, they are good for about 4 to 5 years. But if they are in a container as dispensed by a pharmacy, they are only good for about one year from the date they are given to you, since that exposes them to the elements that cause degradation, such as heat, light and moisture. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, diarrhea, and non-allergic skin rash. Is there anything else I can help with?

Zithromax (Brand) and Azithromycin (Generic Equivalent). Are they both, exact in all Ingredients, or, do they add other Ingredients in the Generic > Azithromycin ?? ## They do not have the same molecular structure on the active ingredient - Brand is a dihydrate and generic is a monohydrate - also have different inert ingredients as well - generic is made outside of US where there is little inspections related to quality control - on contaminates and greater than allowed by the FDA on residual solvents. I have take brand name about 5 times last 12 years and worked great - I took the generic and had really bad reactions - I feel as if I put poison in my system. ## Can i take this medicine together with Paracetamol tablet?

I don't have insurance or much money. I know exactly what's wrong with me, kind of embarrasing. I had it before know the symptoms, and know what I need to cure it. A single doseof Zithormax. if I only I could find a doctor that would do a phone appointment an write me a prescription! Can anyone help me? ## Unfortunately, it isn't legal for a doctor to do that, I'm very sorry. The only suggestion I can make is that you go to your nearest ER, where they can treat you or prescribe an appropriate antibiotic. Are there any other questions or concerns?

I just finished zithromax for upper respritory, I am still blowing yellow and green. I have an antibiotic for uti, will that help kill infection of the sinuses ## Have you consulted your doctor? It really depends on what the other antibiotic is, it may help, but not if it's the wrong kind, or not strong enough. What's the name of it? ## Before I ask, please don't answer with "You should not take that" or "Why do you still have that" etc. I know all of this. All I want to know, is if I have Levofloxacin 500mg pills that expired 3 years ago, are they still safe to take. How much weaker will they be? I have been googling and can not find a suitable answer for shelf life vs expiration date. etc Thank you ## Fred, they don't get dangerous, but there are no spe...
