Is It Safe To Take Clindamycin With Azithromycin?

I started a two year old prescription of clindamycin 300 milligrams I took about 6 of them over the span of two days before I can get into a dentist once I got into the dentist he gave me a z-pack but the clindamyacin had already started to work. should I stop the clindamycin or continue it along with the azithromycin?

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
As per your history, since you have already started with the clindamycin, You can continue to use clindamycin 300mg twice daily. Because both the drugs are broad spectrum antibiotics they both do the same function. and you are also responding fine with clindamycin so you can continue the same.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
