Question
Can Phenylephrine and Azithromycin be taken together?
Answer
Phenylephrine and Azithromycin can be taken together. Phenylephrine primarily has a clearing effect on the lungs, while Azithromycin is an anti-inflammatory drug; there is no conflict or adverse reactions between the two. Azithromycin itself has gastrointestinal side effects and generally does not cause ear pain. Phenylephrine contains central respiratory depressants, which may cause ear pain, but the likelihood is low.
