You shouldnt take antibiotics for a flu infection.
Antibiotics only work against infections caused by bacteria, fungi and some parasites. They don't work against any infections caused by viruses. Viruses cause colds, the flu and most coughs and sore throats.

Can you take a z pack while taking Tamiflu?
Yes. According to the Tamiflu prescription information: TAMIFLU has been shown to have a minimal chance of negatively interacting with other medications. Over-the-counter medications may be prescribed to reduce severity of symptoms while the antiviral action of TAMIFLU takes effect. Antibiotics and Tamiflu should be OK taken together, however, depending on the reason for the antibiotic, you may want to get counseling from the Pharmacist or your doctor before using both. Remember that Tamiflu is an antiviral and is for treating viral infections, not for treating bacterial infections. Antibiotics, like Z-pack are made for treating bacterial infections.

The careless use of antibiotics leads to the development of antibiotic resistant strains of bacteria. Therefore, Tamiflu should only be used as prescribed by a doctor.

Can you take Tamiflu if im allergic to penicillin?
No. Tamiflu is an anti-viral drug while aspirin is an NSAID (used for inflammation) and penicillin is an antibiotic (doesn't treat viral infections). There's no reason why Tamiflu should contain aspirin or penicillin. However, don't confuse Tamiflu with TM-FLU (completely different drug) which appears to contain penicillin and is a scam/fraudulent product. Do not use TM-FLU. For more info on the TM-FLU scam see the related question below in the related links section.
