Zpack To Augmentin
(Newest replies first)

Updated

Hello, I was diagnosed with pneumonia yesterday and prescribed the Zpack. I took the first dose which is 2 pills together. I found out after this that because I am on Effexor that that antibiotic is not recommended for me to take because it can interact with eachother and can cause heart issues. They are starting me on Augmentin today. Is it safe to take today being that I just took the first dose of the Zpack yesterday?

No, I am not on any other medications other than the Effexor.

It is always best to follow your doctor's prescribing instructions. If they say it is safe for you to switch, then you should do so.

The FDA lists the typical antibiotic side effects as possibly including dizziness, diarrhea, headache, diarrhea, and non-allergic skin rash.

I am not saying there aren't any possible risks, but the NIH lists them as being very rare, such as contracting C. Difficile.

Are you on any other medications?
