Azythromicin belongs to new class of antibiotics called azalides. It differs from penicillin by its chemical structure and mechanism of action. Azythromicin is indicated in persons that are allergic on penicillin. It is actually the alternate choice for treatment infection in persons that have penicillin allergy. Hypersensitivity on erythromycin is connected with hypersensitivity on azythromicin. There is no relation between potential allergic reaction on azythromicin and penicillin.
