is azithromycin and doxycycycline in the same family
doxycycline is NOT used to treat strep infections.
It is a bacteria and the infection can be treated with large doses of intravenous and oral antibiotics, such as ciprofloxacin, doxycycline, erythromycin, vancomycin or penicillin.
LGV is treated with oral antibiotics, usually tetracycline or doxycycline for 10-20 days, or erythromycin or trimethoprim sulfamethoxazole for 14 days. Pregnant women are usually treated with erythromycin rather than the tetracyclines.
They are both antibiotics.
Psittacosis is treated with an antibiotic, usually tetracycline (Achromycin, Sumycin); doxycycline (Doxy, Vibramycin); or erythromycin (Eryc, Ilotycin).
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!
Macrolides, such as Azithromycin, Clarithromycin, and Erythromycin. Tetracyclines, such as Doxycycline. Fluoroquinolones, such as Gemifloxacin, Levofloxacin, and Moxifloxacin. Cephalosporins, such as Ceftriaxone, Cefotaxime, and Cefepime. Penicillins, such as Amoxicillin and Ampicillin. Vancomycin.
A 2-3 week course of certain antibiotics (erythromycin, azithromycin, clarithromycin, dirithromycin, or doxycycline) is generally prescribed
Leptospirosis is treated with antibiotics, penicillin (Bicillin, Wycillin), doxycycline (Monodox), ibramycin, or erythromycin. However, many doctors prefer to treat patients with ceftriaxone, which is easier to use than intravenous penicillin.
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.
Oral antibiotics are taken daily for two to four months. The drugs used include tetracycline, erythromycin, minocycline (Minocin), doxycycline, clindamycin (Cleocin), and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (Bactrim, Septra
There are few combinations, which may contain erythromycin. They are not rational combinations. Erythromycin is itself an antibiotic on the merit. Other antibiotics do not or should not contain the erythromycin.
