Yes you can take metronidazole if allergic to Azithromycin. The drugs that you should be concerned with are Erythromycin, and Biaxin (Clarithromycin) because they are also macrolide antibiotics.

yes, you surely can! Azithromycin is in a different set of drugs from penicillins, which include amoxycillin. I was allergic to penicillins for years so was not prescribed amoxicillin either, but it was always OK for me to take azithromycin. However, call Walgreens pharmacy and ask the pharmacist if you still have questions! Good luck and I hope you feel better!
