A member asked:
I was prescribed azithromycin 500mg tablets once per day for 10 days. lactose intolerant and have been dairy free for over a year. i took first dose today and had diarrhea 2 hrs later. how likely is this related to lactose intolerance vs. other?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Antibiotics kill bacteria. This is great for infections, but not so great for your normal stomach/intestinal flora. Try taking a probiotic daily while you are taking the antibiotics and continue with your dairy free diet to avoid additional irritation.

If Azythromycin 2g single dose is immediately followed by bactrim 800+160 for 8 days (1 pill every 12h) don't side effects compound? For instance, if both mess with QT and/or cause diarrhea, having both doesn't increase risk of those side effects?
