Hi,

I passed carefully through your question and would explain that Azythromycine may have a mild interaction with Paxil, by increasing slightly the risk for cardiac arrhythmia.

For this reason, I would recommend taking Aaugmentine, which is better tolerated when taken concomitantly with Paxil. You should discuss with your doctor on this treatment option.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka
