While on amoxicillin

[Eggs]

I've been sick and need to take amoxicillin but minocin prevents it from working and i dont want to stop taking my oral ap. my question is instead of the mino is zithromax used when amoxicillin is needed for a few days? i think i read that but wanted to confirm it. thanks guys =)

Eggs, deciding between zith and amoxicillin might depend on what you're treating. Check out these wikipedia articles on these two antibiotics:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Azithromycin

You're right that azithromycin (a macrolide) can be taken with mino, but amoxicillin shouldn't be taken simultaneously with the tetracyclines:

Very interesting! My AP doc has specifically told me to take the mino and amoxicillin trihydrate (amoxil duo) together, at the same time of day. Lynnie
