A member asked:
I got a penicillin shot and took azithromycin. now i feel like i have to pee but nothing comes out unless i force it. is that one of the side effect?

No: Neither drug causes urinary retention. If you were older than 60, the problem may be from your prostate. Certain drugs which relaxes the bladder muscles may also make it more difficult to urinate assuming that you are not dehydrated.
