if allergic to erythromycin can you take amoxicillin
Can I take roxithromycin if I am allergic to penicillin
yes, they belong to different classes of drugs
yes, they belong to different classes of drugs
No. Despite the similar sounding "-in" ending, erythromycin is not related to the penicillin class of drugs. Rather, erythromycin is macrolide, similar to Biaxin (clarithromycin) and Zithromax (azithromycin), among others.
Azithromycin must not be taken by a person who is allergic to erythromycin. The two antibiotics are closely related and work in a similar manner. A qualified health professional will be able to recommend a safe alternative.
YES they are related but they are distant cousins.. i am allergic to pennicillin but not to erythromycin. i have been on antibiotics serveral times so i am 100 percent sure of this.. i have had to have erythromycin before and they watched me in the emergency room to make sure i didnt have a reaction.. they are related but since they are only related close enough to be distant cousins they will often try people who are allergic to pennicillin on erythromycin. my aunt can not take either one but i am lucky enough to be able to take the erythromycin but with pennicillin i can not breath!
sometimes
Atarax, a prescribed medication.
can you take co codamol with erythromycin
yes, biaxin is a macrolide... you can take biaxin
no because sinutab has psudophidrine in it which will counter act the erythromycin
