Due to the differences in the antibacterial spectrum of amoxicillin and azithromycin, it is necessary to judge specifically according to the infection, and it is not possible to directly determine whether amoxicillin can be exchanged for azithromycin.
Amoxicillin is the most commonly used semi-synthetic penicillin broad-spectrum β-lactam antibiotics, mainly used for infections caused by Streptococcus hemolyticus, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Staphylococcus staphylococcus, Streptococcus chimera, Escherichia coli, Haemophilus influenzae, and other bacteria, and its adverse reactions include diarrhea, nausea, rash, and so on, which are forbidden to those who have allergies to penicillin and β-lactam preparations.
Azithromycin is a macrolide antibiotic, mainly used for infections caused by Streptococcus pyogenes, Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pyogenes, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Chlamydia trachomatis, Haemophilus influenzae, and Cattamoeba, etc. Its common adverse reactions include abdominal pain, diarrhea, and vomiting, and is contraindicated in those who are allergic to macrolides.
The choice of anti-infective treatment program needs to be based on the results of the drug sensitivity test to select the appropriate antibiotic. If there is no drug sensitivity test results, the choice of antibiotics based on experience also needs to be based on the site of infection and other specific circumstances, can not directly determine whether azithromycin can be used instead of amoxicillin. It is recommended that treatment be under the guidance of a physician.
