Suggest Alternate Over The Counter Medication For Zomax

Hi Back in the 1980 s at Walter Reid Hospital I was given Zomax and found it to be equivalent to Loretab7 for pain relief, had NO side effects at all! Was upset that they pulled it. My doctors told me that it as causing people to bleed out into their stomachs . If it were still on the market i d be using it today! As anything stronger than Tylenol3 messes with my mind, so i refuse to take anything stronger.

Hi,

Zomax is Azithromycin and is an antibiotic. It’s not used for pain relief. Lortab is a brand name of Hydrocodone and Acetaminophen combination.

You can try alternatives like Tramadol or Ultracet (Tramadol and Acetaminophen combination) for pain relief. These are safe and can be used for longer duration.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
