Can Codeine And Azithromycin Be Taken The Same Day?
I have a touch of pneumonia and was told to take 2 pills of azithromycin on the first day, and 1 pill of the same drug for the next four days in the morning, I have a nagging cough as well and mucus is coming up. I was given the option to take a cough syrup with codeine phosphate and I would take it before I go to bed. I m just concerned. Can I take codeine and and azithromycin even at distant times of the day?

Hi,
I understand your concern regarding the safety of prescribed medications for the treatment of pneumonia.There is no documented evidence of any harmful interaction between the antibiotic Azithromycin and cough suppressant codeine phospate hence they may be taken safely on the same time of the day.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
