Can Nitrofurantoin And Zithromax Be Taken Together?
Question: I am taking nitrofurantoin for a urinary tract infection. I have 2.5 days left of taking nitrofurantoin.
I have been prescribed zithromax for a sinus infection and would like to begin taking it today. Are these two drugs safe to take together?
I'm healthy overall. I take 2 mg Estradoil daily. I'm allergic to sulfa.
Thanks for your help.

Brief Answer:
Take them with a difference in time of 2 hours

Hi dear and thanks for your query.
You can take both of them in a day because zithromax and nitrofurantoin don't interact with each other ,but to be safe , take them with a difference in time of 2 hours,because while you can take them together you may have increase side effects of them.
Zithromax and nitrofurantoin do not decrease the effect of estradiol.
