Azithromycin and Align
In December this combination, while scaring me a lot, may have warded off a recurrence of c.diff. I had a serious lung disease or would have avoided antibiotics entirely. Azithromycin has the advantage of a short-term (5 day) administration. This is no guarantee that the Az-Al combination would prevent a c.diff. flareup and I would be just as reluctant to try it in the future. P.S. The avoidance includes a lot of insect repellant but no antibiotics in malarial areas when I travel.

I, too, was able to avoid pneumonia (altho. had it many times since C. diff.) with a Z-pak and the probiotic VSL3. Advantage of the Z-pak is you only take it orally 5 days but it stays in your body 10 days. There "ain't no guarantees" however. My niece (not related by blood) developed C. diff. from a Z-pak.
Glad this worked for you!

They are going to add a Black Box Warning to Zpak because of some heart issues. This is discouraging news since it was one of the lower offenders, now I'm scared to take it if I have to. Carol
