Question 1

Question 3

Possible: It all depends on how these drugs are metabolized. Drugs that are carried and metabolized by the same proteins can slow the clearance of each others. Certain drugs can compete at the same enzyme in the liver making the clearance faster or slower. We call this drug-drug interaction.

A macrolide: Azithromycin is a member of the macrolide group of antibiotics. It does not kill bacteria but halts their metabolic activity by acting on protein production.

Accepted Answer

Amoxicillin: Amoxicillin is a penicillin derivative antibiotic.  Some bacteria manufacture enzymes called beta-lactamases and the addition of clavulanate to the amox blocks this enzyme from destroying the penicillin.  This drug is active against many different bacteria, and often used for upper respiratory tract or urinary tract infections, but may be of value in others.  Discuss with the person who prescribed.
