It is NOT the same thing as amoxicillin... I'm taking Zithromax right now, and I'm allergic to the whole penicillin family. So for some people, it's not a frivolous expense but a much better option than anaphylaxis.
If you're having digestive problems related to an antibiotic, it can sometimes help to eat yogurt. I know it sounds weird, but really powerful antibiotics can destry the good bacteria in your gut and eating yogurt with active cultures can help put them back. It worked really well for my mom!
