Can Azithromycin Be Taken By An Individual Allergic To Macrobid And Bactrim?

I am highly allergic to macrobid and also Bactrim. I was just prescribed Azithromycin, reading it is a macrolide antibacterial drug, I am worried it is the same class, & too similar to the 2 I know I am highly allergic to(macrobid, and Bactrim)... Is this 'z-pack' ok for me to take??
