A member asked:
For upper respiratory infections which when indicated do you prefer azithromycin or clarithtomycin?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Azithro: This antibiotic has a probiotic effect where its anti-infectious properties last long after its concentration in the blood has dropped to below its effective concentration. It also has less drug- drug interactions and is taken once daily.
