It is not the ideal antibiotic to penetrate the sinuses. Augmentin is the drug of choice, though some are suggesting the use of an antibiotic that also covers MRSA, such as Bactrim.
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).
How long does it take to kick in, I am on the 4th day, given for sinus infection, now it has gone into my chest, don't feel any better yet.
Z-pack
BE GOOD FOR CHRISTMAS (: AND I WILL TELL YOU xD
No. It is a steroid
No antibiotics are controlled. Controlled substances are those which have a possibility of dependency.
Infection Z - 2013 was released on: USA: 13 August 2013 (internet)
yes the preferred drug of choice is penicillin or amoxicillin but Keflex and z-pack work as well.
CAN A Z PACK BE TAKEN FOR A TOOTHACHE
Yes stupid
yes.
A Z-pack, which contains azithromycin, is an antibiotic primarily used to treat bacterial infections, but it is not typically associated with causing urinary tract infections (UTIs). However, antibiotics can disrupt the normal balance of bacteria in the body, potentially leading to secondary infections or complications in some individuals. If a UTI occurs after taking a Z-pack, it may be coincidental rather than a direct effect of the medication. If you experience symptoms of a UTI, it's essential to consult a healthcare provider.
