If i am allergic to penicillin, erythromycin, ancef (cefazolin) can i take azithromycin?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Maybe but avoid: Most people do not have true allergies to medicines. Some are better described as an intolerance. Antibiotics are important in life, so i would a. Avoid the azithro, b. Get allergy testing for antibiotics from a competent allergy specialist.
