Roxithromycin is a semi-synthetic macrolide antibiotic. It is used to treat respiratory tract, urinary and soft tissue infections. Roxithromycin is derived from erythromycin, containing the same 14-membered lactone ring. However, an N-oxime side chain is attached to the lactone ring.
It is also currently undergoing clinical trials for the treatment of male-pattern hair loss. Roxithromycin has also been tested to possess antimalarial activity.
Roxithromycin is not available in the United States.
Roxithromycin has fewer interactions than erythromycin as it has a lower affinity for cytochrome P450.

Woman disabled by ciprofloxacin taken for a simple chest infection.
Ciprofloxacin is from the fluoroquinolone group of antibiotics that have been linked with tendon problems and other muscolo-skeletal issues. Some other side effects include chest pain, rapid heartbeat, blackouts, swelling, hot flushes, sweating, pancreatitis (inflamed pancreas) and tinnitus.

"The story of streptomycin is no ordinary tale of discovery. It began in August 1943, when Dr. Schatz, a 23-year-old graduate student at the Rutgers College of Agriculture, isolated the powerful antibiotic produced by a bacterium, Streptomyces griseus, that had been found in a pot of farmyard soil.
His supervisor, Professor Waksman, arranged for the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn., to test the substance in guinea pigs, and then in humans. It worked. Streptomycin, cleared up infections, including TB, that had defied even the first wonder drug, penicillin.
As word of the discovery spread, reporters flocked to Rutgers to record the amazing event. But in telling and retelling the story, Dr. Waksman slowly began to drop Dr. Schatz’s name and claim sole credit. He also arranged with Rutgers to receive hundreds of thousands of dollars in royalties from the patent that he and Dr. Schatz were awarded; Dr. Schatz received nothing."

Z-Packs Linked to Heart Disease Death Risk
"Z-Pack" as it's commonly known is a popular antibiotic..... real name is Azithromycin.

The increased odds of death are small, but significant enough that the authors of the study say doctors should consider prescribing a different drug, like amoxicillin, for high-risk patients who need antibiotics.
What is the threshold for safety when using antibiotics? This article seems to imply that 64.6 deaths per million courses is worrisome but 21.8 per million is good enough. It doesn't look like an important difference.

Antibiotic Overuse May Increase Superbug Evolution Rate
“Human activities might be altering the fundamental tempo of bacterial evolution,” write geneticists Michael Gillings of Australia’s Macquarie University and Hatch Stokes of the University of Technology in a June Trends in Ecology and Evolution paper."

Trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole associated with multiple toxicities can cause super high levels of potassium, extreme low blood sugar drops, folic acid deficiency. crosses the brain-blood barrier, resulting a multitude of neurological symptoms.
Older patients receiving both spironolactone and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole were at a dramatically increased risk of hyperkalemia
Bottom line: do your homework. Don't assume your doctor or pharmacist is aware of, or is paying adequate attention to both the side effects of a medication you should know about or the potential ramifications of combining more than one drug.

Here is yet another sobering example of the very real truth that health does not and can not come from drugs. Chemical manipulation of the body does only that - manipulate into a less healthy, less vibrant, version of yourself, putting you one step closer to death, not life.
"That fact brings up an obvious question. How many seniors have died from cardiac arrest that was blamed on their heart failure or age when, in fact, it was the result of a fatal drug combination involving trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole and spironolactone?"

Is Roxithromycin Better than Amoxicillin in the Treatment of Acute Lower Respiratory Tract Infections in Primary Care?
The results of our randomized controlled trial did not confirm the potentially greater value of roxithromycin, which is often recommended as the drug of choice for empirical treatment of community-acquired pneumonia, over amoxicillin. Because amoxicillin was as effective as roxithromycin, it remains a reliable first-choice antibiotic in the treatment of community-acquired LRTI.
