... me Zithromax and am nervous about taking it and having another allergic reaction. Are there any of the same ingrediants in these antibiodics? Do you think that I should begin this antibiodic without worry?

You should be fine to take azithromycin if you are allergic to Bactrim. The sulfonamide group, present in Bactrim, that is the reason for the allergy is not present in Azithromycin. However, be vigilant and if you do happen to have any adverse effects please see your doctor.
