i take Azithromycin three days per week. I believe I have a chest infection atm. I have been prescribed amoxicillin to take for the chest infection but I have been given conflicting advice. One person said to stop the Azithromycin while taking the amoxicillin the other has said continue with both. Has anyone got experience of this that they can share? Thanks.

no authoritative advice, but I stopped it when I was on another antibiotic and restarted at the end of the course. I don't suppose it really matters
