Other medications and Azitromicina Teva

Inform your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have recently taken, or may need to take any other medication.

Inform your doctor if you are taking any of the following medications:

  • antacids, such as aluminum hydroxide: take Azitromicina Teva at least 1 hour before or 2 hours after taking an antacid.
  • ergotamine derivatives, such as ergotamine (used to treat migraines). Azitromicina Teva should not be taken at the same time, as ergotism (a potentially serious side effect with numbness or tingling in the extremities, muscle cramps, headaches, seizures, or abdominal or chest pain) may develop.
  • cumarin derivatives, such as warfarin (used to prevent blood clots): may increase the risk of bleeding.
  • digoxin (used to treat heart failure) or colchicine (used to treat gout or familial Mediterranean fever): may increase digoxin/colchicine levels in the blood.
  • zidovudine, nelfinavir (used to treat AIDS): azithromycin or zidovudine levels may increase.
  • rifabutin (used to treat AIDS and bacterial infections, including tuberculosis): may lead to a decrease in white blood cell count.
  • cyclosporin (an immunosuppressant used after organ transplantation): cyclosporin levels may increase. Your doctor will need to monitor your cyclosporin levels in the blood.

  • alfentanil (a sedative): the effect of alfentanil may be increased.
  • fluconazole (for fungal infections): azithromycin levels may be reduced.
  • atorvastatin (a cholesterol-lowering medication). The concomitant use of azithromycin and atorvastatin has been associated with an increased risk of muscle tissue breakdown (rhabdomyolysis), leading to muscle pain and dark urine.
