Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX,
Thanks for writing in to us.
I have read though your medical history in detail. Detailed answer to your query is as follows.
1. Clonazepam and Azithromycin: These two medications have no significant side effect when take short term as taken during an infection.
2. Clonazepam and Fluticasone: There is no documented serious side effect when taking these two medications.
3. Prozac (fluoxetine) and Azithromycin: Rarely this combination of medicines has caused polymorphic Ventricular tachycardia (increased abnormal heart beats) in patients who take excessive alcohol and may have pancreatitis.
4. Prozac (fluoxetine) and Fluticasone: No known serious side effects seen in those taking fluoxetine and fluticasone nasal spray.
Zyrtec (cetirizine) is an anti allergic and can be taken safely without the fear of serious side effects.
I would suggest you to stop alcohol intake for a few days while you are taking antibiotic (azithromycin) for your infection.
If you have any discomfort while on above medications, it is strongly suggested that you report to your doctor immediately.
Hope your query is answered.
Do write back if you have any doubts.
