No problem!: Azithromycin is safe for mother and fetus! z-pack is a good choice for bronchitis in pregnancy (500 mg the first day and 250 mg daily for another 4 days. Hope you get well soon!

Question 2

whatare the symptoms of systemic candiaditis?i got real sick post pregnancy after having early birth& zithromax/vanco and then omnicef (cefdinir) im not absorbing food. losing weight, white tongue& other stuff

Accepted Answer

See a PCP: Systemic candidiasis is not a common illness.  It usually occurs in patients with indwelling IV lines, immune deficiency states, or with IV drug use.  Your current condition sounds very disturbing and would strongly recommend you begin by seeing a good family practitioner or general internist and go from there.  Hope you were HIV tested during pregnancy.

Question 5

i took 1,000mg of azithromycin friday and had sex saturday. i am on the pill and we did not use a condom. should i be worried about pregnancy?

Accepted Answer

Well,...: Antibiotics ca decrease the efficacy of Birth control by less than 1%, so there is a small chance.  Doubtful as the chances are small, but still you need to know the risk of pregnancy does go minimally up compared to NOT being on an antibiotic.  I recommend condoms too supplement Birth control pills when taking antibiotics.  Best wishes.

Question 6

i have bad heartburn due to pregnancy and always taking gaviscon. now got infection and taking azithromycin for 5 days.  is it ok to take them both?

Accepted Answer

Not at the same time: The Gaviscon can reduce the effectiveness of the azithromycin. Take the Azithromycin 1st. Wait an hour or two before taking the gaviscon.

Question 7

for suspected pelvic inflammatory disease, during pregnancy, what drugs can i take? i'm almost 5 weeks. cannot take azithromycin bc of my heart.

Accepted Answer

Penicillin: You will likely need a Penicillin class antibiotic which is safe to take during pregnancy. Please contact your OB for the drug therapy.

Question 8

was on azithromycin. am on the birth control pill. period is due in a day or two. have taken three pregnancy tests that are all negative. am i okay?

Accepted Answer

Tests are accurate: Home pregnancy tests are very accurate and not affected by foods, herbs, common illnesses, sexually transmitted diseases, or medications. A correctly done urine test gives a reliable result 3 weeks after sex (3 weeks after when conception might have happened) or 1 week after missing a period. If done sooner, a positive result is likely real, but a negative result may be due to testing too soon.

Question 9

i'm had a positive pregnancy test, i'm now . 5 weeks and 4 days pregnant. but around 2-3 weeks of pregnancy i had covid and high fever. i got azithromycin, and used dislofenac suppository.also i had chest x-ray. is there a risk for a baby? thank you?

Accepted Answer

: We still have limited information about the impact of Covid-19 infection in the first trimester but it seems your baby has been doing well after more than 2 weeks since the infection.  Risk to fetus from one CXR, azithromycin and diclofenac (in the first trimester) is negligible.

Question 10

is it to safe to consume alcohol after zithromax?

Accepted Answer

May drink: The two are not known to negatively interact, so you may have a drink.
