A member asked:
I finished the zpack yesterday for a dental procedure. my throat is very sore, is it possible to have strep even though i just was on the zpack?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Questionable med: Z-pak is not a primary antibiotic to be used for an oral infection. Your dentist should have prescribed penicillin unless your are allergic to penicillin. If allergic, then a prescription of clindamycin should nave been prescribed.
