What is the difference between amoxicillin, azithromycin?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Different classes: Both are antibiotics but act in different ways to kill bacteria. So they are in completely different classes and have different effects. Amoxicillin is a type of penicillin. Azithromycin is a macrolide.
