Can penicillin and azithromycin be taken together?
For the treatment of latent syphilis.
Azithromycin has been used to treat primary and secondary syphilis and as prophylaxis for sexual partners. A single injection of long-acting benzathine penicillin g can cure the early stages of syphilis. This includes primary, secondary, or early latent syphilis. Cdc recommends three doses of long-acting benzathine penicillin g at weekly intervals for late latent syphilis or latent syphilis of unknown duration.

Hello, When syphilis is diagnosed during the second half of pregnancy, management should include a sonographic fetal evaluation for congenital syphilis. However, this evaluation should not delay therapy. Sonographic signs of fetal or placental syphilis (i.e., hepatomegaly, ascites, hydrops, fetal anemia, or a thickened placenta) indicate a greater risk for fetal treatment failure cases accompanied by these signs should be managed in consultation with obstetric specialists. Evidence is insufficient to recommend specific regimens for these situations. Women treated for syphilis during the second half of pregnancy are at risk for premature labor and/or fetal distress if the treatment precipitates the Jarisch-Herxheimer reaction. These women should be advised to seek obstetric attention after treatment if they notice any fever, contractions, or decrease in fetal movements. Stillbirth is a rare complication of treatment, but concern for this complication should not delay necessary treatment. No data are available to suggest that corticosteroid treatment alters the risk for treatment-related complications in pregnancy.

Of course you can and it’s easy to do so. Here in Canada I can walk into a farm supply shop and buy a vial of penicillin for animal use without any problem. All I have to do is sign for it!
