Medical Professionals: Is antiobotic called Biaxin stronger?
Azithromycin (Z-pack) and clarithromycin (Biaxin) are both antibiotics from the same class (macrolides). They are used to treat similar diseases but differ slightly in terms of bacterial coverage and indications. Both are commonly used to treat upper respiratory tract infections, including sinusitis, otitis media, acute bronchitis, and pneumonias. It is important to understand that antibiotics are only effective against bacterial infections. Therefore, if your symptoms are due to a fungal or viral infection, or allergies, then you may not experience any relief.
