Is it safe to take Azithromycin for bronchitis?
Patient: My daughter's pediatrician informed me that she has bronchitis and prescribed azithromycin. Is it ok for her to also take Hyland's homeopathic cold and cough with this? Active ingredients include allium cep 6x HPUS, hepar sulph 12x HPUS, natrrum muriaticum 6x HPUS, phosphorus 12X HPUS, pulsatilla 6x HPUS, sulphur 12x HPUS, and hydrastis 6x HPUS. Doctor: Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic. I can understand your concern. Yes, you can give her Azithromycin. No harm in it.. Most common cause for bronchitis is infection. Azithromycin being a broad antibiotic, helps in infection. So you can give her Azithromycin. About homeopathic syrup you are talking about, in my opinion, you should avoid it. Better to give her allopathic syrupy for bronchitis. These homeopathic drugs are not tested under clinical trials so their safety is always in doubt. So better not to try them in children. Instead of this, you can safely give allopathic syrup as these drugs are time tested and proven safe in various clinical studies. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
