Good morning, the drug Azitrolek contains in its composition a macrolide antibiotic: azithromycin. The drug Zocor, as you wrote, is a drug from the group of statins, specifically simvastatin. The antibiotic is selected by the doctor for the profile of antibacterial action. From a clinical point of view, the likelihood of interactions between these drugs is low. The use of azithromycin in place of older generation macrolide antibiotics significantly reduces the risk of interaction. Please pay attention to whether you do not develop symptoms such as fever or severe muscle pain - then please contact your doctor. For my part, I would like to draw your attention to avoid consuming grapefruit juice during the described drugs, which will also contribute to increasing the safety of the treatment. Please remember about the additional use of the probiotic, also for two weeks after the end of antibiotic treatment.
