###Human: Can I take Azithromycin to prevent an abscess? ###Assistant: Hello. Azithromycin is not recommended for skin and soft tissue infections. Generally, a combination of Amoxicillin and Clavulanate twice daily is used. However, unless you have a skin infection you should not use it. It is used for a treatment and not for prevention.  Regards. For more information consult an internal medicine physician online -->
