  5. I'm feeling a bit worried because I had a sore throat and fever a while ago, and my doctor prescribed me Forenza 325mg, which really helped after five days. But now, just a few days back, my sore throat returned, so I went back to the doctor and got prescribed a combination of cefpodoxime and azithromycin. I'm really concerned about taking both together because I read online about potential drug interactions. So, I've only been taking cefpodoxime 200mg twice a day for the last three days, but I don't see any improvement yet. Is it safe to take cefpodoxime again even though I used it before? And do you know if there are any interactions between cefpodoxime and azithromycin? I'd really appreciate any advice on this.
