Can Imodium Be Taken While On Azithromycin?
My doctor prescribed Azithromycin 250 mg tab for me yesterday. One of the supposed common side effects is diarrhea, which I have developed. (I get diarrhea quite often anyway.) Can I take Imodium without worry with the other drug? YYYY@YYYY

Hi,
There is no harm in taking a short course of Imodium while on Azithromycin.
I would have also added Metronidazole if your diarrhea is severe.
Do not forget to hydrate you properly and try to take electrolyte powder.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
