Exclusion Criteria

The Patients must not meet any the following criteria:

Subjects with history of hypersensitivity to any of the study drugs or same class of drugs

Subject who have received prior Azithromycin therapy for the treatment of a current episode of CABP.

Subjects who have received prior antibiotic therapy within the past 24 hours for the treatment of a current episode of CABP. Following are the exception to these criteria:

Subjects who have received a single dose of short acting antibacterial drug within 24 hours of enrolment

Subjects with evidence of clinical progression of CABP while on antibacterial drug therapy after at least 48 hours

Subjects with any abnormality that the Investigator deems to be clinically relevant, either on medical history, systemic examination or ECG

Subjects on hemodialysis or creatinine clearance <= 30 mL/min (estimated by Cockcroft Gault equation).

Subjects with abnormal platelet count < 1,50,000 cells/mm3
