Question 1

is it good and safe to take azithromycin (other name sumamed-is it same pill?)for treament of pityriasis rosea?will it go away with these antibiotics?

Accepted Answer

Tough question: Generally pr is a self-limited condition. Some reports that state improvement with things like Erythromycin may not necessarily be so. Bear with me: if a condition that gets better no matter what you do is treated with any medication then it will still get better. So, did it get better because of the medicine? Tough question. I do recommend you see a dermatologist to help. Sorry to confuse.

Question 2

can take azithromycin for tight chest and phlegm chunks that are stuck in my thought ? will it work like just as good as a regular antibiotic?

Accepted Answer

Antibiotic: Azithromycin is a good antibiotic that is often prescribed for bronchitis and other infections. Check with your doctor for the right treatment for your condition

Question 3

is azithromycin a good antibiotic for impetigo?

Accepted Answer

Not my choice:  I find it unlikely to do the job in many cases.

Question 4

i am allergic to a lot of antibiotics. what should i do since im allergic to azithromycin now. is there any medicine i can take to help my bronchitis?

Accepted Answer

Antibiotics: There are several antibiotics used for bronchitis.  Please discuss with your doctors for appropriate antibiotics.

Question 5

while pregnant can you take the antibiotic azithromycin?

Accepted Answer

According to ...: ... Drugs.Com:

"azithromycin has been assigned to pregnancy category b by the fda. Animal studies failed to reveal evidence of fetotoxicity. There are no controlled data in human pregnancy. Azithromycin should only be given during pregnancy when benefit outweighs risk.".

Question 6

i took azithromycin for chest congestion and i itched one day, but it was the day after my last dose.  is that related?? should i take that antibiotic

Accepted Answer

Itching: It is a possibility but most probably it is not related

Question 7

treated for chymadia how long does it take the antibiotics 2work and leave ur system i had to take 2 azithromycin 500mg took it and am not having sex

Accepted Answer

Azithromycin...: ...is very long acting; it will be in your system for at least 10 days (which is one reason it works well against chlamydia even with only one dose). Probably you will be technically cured within 5 days, but best to avoid sex for a week. And of course don't resume sex with previous partner(s) until he/they have also been treated for chlamydia, even if they had negative test results.

Question 8

should i stop taking antibiotics - it's azithromycin... i developed bad nausea , diarrhea , heart beating of my heart really fast, e.t.c.the hospital gave me a five day tablet to take but in the first day this all started. a diagnosis was bronchitis?

Accepted Answer

: Azithromycin often irritates the stomach and intestines and likely caused the nausea and diarrhea, but not but rapid heart beat. That may have been from stress or anxiety from the nausea and diarrhea. Don't stop taking it:  the next 4 doses (250 mg) are half the size of the first (500 mg) and probably won't be a problem. Taking it with food also will help. Good luck.

Question 9

how many times can you take/use an antibiotic before becoming permanently resistant to it? a few years ago i used doxycycline 7 days, azithromycin 3 days and moxifloxacin 14 days. will these work again if needed?

Accepted Answer

: Exposure to these antibiotics will most likely not cause increased resistance. Antibiotics should be used as needed to treat specific infections.

Question 10

which antibiotic can i take for mild cellulitis that happened dt. a mosquito bite; azithromycin or ofloxacin??

Accepted Answer

?inflammation: Are you talking about cellulitis, a skin infection, or just the inflammation that occurs around a mosquito bite. The inflammation will resolve on its own. Neither azithromycin or ofloxacin are very good for cellulitis. If you are not sure which condition you have please see a doctor.
