Yes, they are 2 different chemical makeups.
CAN A Z PACK BE TAKEN FOR A TOOTHACHE
A Z-pak consists of either three or five doses of the antibiotic, azithromycin. It is a broad spectrum antibiotic which treats a variety of different infections, especially those which have been resistant to previous antibiotic treatments.
Yes. If each one is safe for you, they can be taken together. Talk to your pharmacist or health care provider for advice specific to your situation.

The antibiotic will not harm you if it turns out it is not bacterial, but it won't do you any good either. In your case, it is probably very difficult to determine if it is viral or bacterial. For school aged kids (or even adults going to work), the school usually requires the child to have at least 24 hours of an antibiotic when diagnosed with conjunctivitis (pink eye) - whether it is bacterial or not. Z-pak (alone) is indicated for sinus infections that have become bacterial infections. Z-pak plus bacterial sinus infection is a good combo. Z-pak and your other antibiotic taken together will not make your sinus infection better quicker than the Z-pak alone. Ciloxan opthalmic ointment or drops will not interact with the Z-pak, either (not harmful taken together).
Whatever infection you have, taking multiple weeks of Z-paks is not a typical fix. Contact your health care provider to clarify the instructions, and to make sure they know you were recently on azithromycin and have been prescribed again. Normally, you don't take the same antibiotic three times in a row.
No- Z-pak is an antibiotic to cure bacterial infections. Prescription Flucanzol (Diflucan) or OTC monostat is for Vaginal Yeast infections. There are several other prescription medications used for oral thrush. Antibiotics can actually cause yeast infections as a side effect
Yes There are no direct drug interactions between these two antibiotics. Normally you would take azithromycin (Z-pak) daily in the morning for 5 days and amoxicillin 2 or 3 times daily for 10 days. They may be taken with or without food. Take them at the same times each day.
I asked a Pharmacist and it is safe to combine a Z-Pak and the Xanax as well as Cold meds if you need them.
