A member asked:
I was prescribed a single dose of 500mg azithromycin. just before starting those i had started taking doxycycline for just 3 pills. will this work?

Not sure: Both are antibiotics, but each has pros/cons for specific types of infection. For new respiratory or sinus symptoms, neither may be necessary (we are trying to do a better job limiting antibiotic use when not really indicated).
