Best Answer

depends on which antibiotic you are using. For example, Azithromycin is a relatively safe and effective antibiotic. Where as Vancomycin, is a highly effective antibiotic (covers MRSA) but has a lot of morbidities associated w/ it (hearing loss, kidney malfunction, etc).

Can you take an antibiotic and antidepressant together?

It is probably safe to take an antibiotic and antidepressant together; however, "antibiotic" and "antidepressant" are both really big categories of drugs, and there are many, many different types of each. When visiting your doctor, always let the doctor know what drugs you are taking so he or she can prescribe drugs that are safe to take together. If you have questions about possible interactions or safety of taking two specific drugs at the same time, always ask your doctor of pharmacist.
