Brief Answer:
Good to go. No interaction.
Detailed Answer:
Thank you for asking
I read your question and i understand your concern. Azithromycin has no interaction with escitalopram so yes you can use both of them simultaneously. However the dose of azithromycin is 500 mg once then 250 mg daily for 4 days. Talk to your prescribing doctor for the correct dose and let them correct it for you.
I hope it helps. take good care of yourself and dont forget to close the discussion please.
