Manchmal genügt eine einmalige Gabe, z.B. Fosfomycin bei unkomplizierter Blasenentzündung.
Azithromycin muss man oft nur 3 Tage einnehmen, weil es lange im Gewebe bleibt. Es wirkt z.B. gegen Mykoplasmen. Azithromycin wird auch bei Penicillinallergie eingesetzt.

Yup! Any beta-lactams, plus a lot of the rest. I have two I can take without problems (azithromycin and ciprofloxacin, and Cipro is counterindicated with EDS and everything is resistant to azithromycin) and one I can take with *serious* medication support (nitrofurantoin) and that's it
