Q: could you become immune to say azithromycin if you take it say a few times a year? i always wondered this, thank you

Yes: Yes, if you take the same antibiotic repeatedly and close together, bacteria in your body can indeed develop immunity to it.

Q: can i take my azithromycin 500mg tablets right away after i eat or do i have to wait a certain amount of time before i do?

Yes.: Can take with or without food.

Q: i took my azithromycin 3 day pack then i'm waiting 4 days for the other 3 pills i have to take a day. can i just take all 3 in one day?

No, take as directed: Your body is not able to absorb and/or store that much azithromycin at one time. Taking 3 tablets on the same day will be no better than just taking 1 tablet for 1 day. You should take this and all prescription medication as it is prescribed. There are good reasons that medication is prescribed in particular doses and duration. Even if these reasons are not always apparent.

Q: how do i properly take 1g of azithromycin powder says 60ml of water don't have a way to measure that can i just take with regular cup of water?

15mL=1 tablespoon: 1 teaspoon (the smaller spoon) is equal to 5ml and 1 tablespoon is equal to 15ml, so 4 tablespoons would equal 60ml. Hopefully you have spoons in your home or can get your hands on one to measure out the water for proper mixing. Best wishes.

Q: hellothis is a weird question but can i crush an azithromycin tablet and then pour it in alcohol and take it that way? and it will still be effective?

Crushed: The tablets can be crushed but don't mix with alcohol. Azithromycin can cause nausea and drowsiness. Alcohol will worsen those effects.

Q: theoretically please tell me, with a half life of 4 hours and 60mg 3 times a day, how long could i withhold diltiazem as to take azithromycin safely?

As Seen On TV???: Theoretically, the drug is 99% out of your body after five half lives (in this case 20 hours). The half life of azithromycin is a lot longer (36 hours; that's why you only take it once a day). you'd have to fiddle with the diltiazem dose or choose another antibiotic. "You" meaning the doctor. Don't do this at home. Dangerous. And for just about anything there is an alternative to azithromycin.

Q: im having a problem starting urination for drug tests and sometimes at home, i take zanex, methadone, zooloft and vicadin 4 pain & depression asap luv?

Antcholinergic: Probably side effect from meds--getting off/reducing meds would probably help or your doc might give you urecholine (bethanechol) to help the stanguria.

Question 1

is it safe to take azithromycin with methadone?

Accepted Answer

Zpack & methadone : Taking this combination can cause elevation of serum Methadone levels or cause irregular heart beat by prolonging your cardiac qt interval. I suggest you talk to your prescribing professional(s) and follow the recommendation(s) provided.

Question 2

what are the drug interactions between methadone and azithromycin  ?

Accepted Answer

Arrthymia: There is a caution in combining the two medications due to the risk of qt prolongation resulting in an arrhythmia.

Question 3

would zithromax react with methodone or or predni zone  and make you feel sedated?

Accepted Answer

Not sedation  : Interaction between Azithromycin and methadone(at > 200mg/day) may result in cardiac complication not sedation. Report any fainting/feeling of fainting immediately. Drowsiness has been reported in < 1%  with Azithromycin ( last in system ~68hrs). Methadone causes drowsiness but tolerance usually develops within a few days, so please report any excessive sleepiness to you doctor for immediate care.
