My upper respiratory tract infection and sinus drip did not subside even with antibiotics. Why?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com. I can understand your concern. According to your statement, you have been suffering from cough, sore throat, sinus infection, etc. Your query is whether it is helpful to use both Moxifloxacin and Clarithromycin together or not. Using Moxifloxacin and Clarithromycin can increase the risk of an irregular heart rhythm that may be serious and potentially life-threatening, although it is a relatively rare side effect. Moxifloxacin belongs to the group of medications known as Fluoroquinolone, which is used to treat a wide variety of infections caused by bacteria like pneumonia, sinus infection, and many more. Clarithromycin belongs to the group of medications known as macrolides, which treat various types of bacterial infections like pneumonia, especially atypical pneumonia, respiratory tract infections, sinus infection, etc. Moxifloxacin is almost equivalent to Clarithromycin in eradicating bacterial infections. For a sinus infection, I think any one of them is enough, and no need to use both of them together. If you have pneumonia, then those combinations can be used. Otherwise, you can take either Moxifloxacin or Azithromycin, which you previously used without any side effects.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com. Yes you can take. Clarithromycin is a good choice.
