User Reviews for Azithromycin

I am currently still on it for bronchitis. I am only 19 so I don't have much experience with heartburn, but it has been horrible and I don't think its normal to feel it from your throat, through your chest, and into your stomach. I'm hoping it resolves soon.

I have noticed improvement in one day.

Oh Mylanta! My Dr prescribed a 5-day course for my 1st ear infection and I felt lucky! Pain stopped almost immediately! However, day 3 I have severe lightheadedness and am ready to faint. I almost ended up in the ER while at another Dr for an unrelated knee problem! Not taking the last dose. My ears feel like they still have fluid. Hope the side effects don't linger long. I will never take this rx again, and hope there is something else available to take for an ear infection if it persists. Other side effects: fatigue (prominent), diarrhea (tolerable), possible anxiety, minor confusion.Read More Read Less

Azithromycin 250mg. was given to me for Acute Bronchitis along with Prednisone. The 1st round of medicine was in early Oct. 2012. After taking the antibiotic for 2 days I got painful sores inside my mouth, on lips, cheeks and tongue. It did not cure the Bronchitis so 3 weeks later my Dr. put me on it again. The same thing happened with the sores in my mouth so I am sure it is the Azithromycin 250mg. I will not take this medicine again.

Took med for 3 days , works great

Terrible side effects, nausea, diarrhea, stomach pain, cold chills, fatigue then insomnia, neither of which I commonly have. This stuff is nasty. Haven't eaten any solid food since this began! Two more days. I will never accept a prescription for this again.

My symptoms went away after 2 days of use. Now, however I have diarrhea that is a literal pain in my a$$. I'm stopping the treatment tonight, and won't be using this again.

have taken this medication for a short term,the only problem I've had is that I cannot eat dairy products, the give me dihrrea.

great antibiotic. take one a day only. little to no side effect.perfect for me.

Lack of appetite, sleepy, and diarhea

The symptoms that come along with this drug just aren't worth it

This has caused a lot of diarrhea, stomach distress and nausea. I have been taking the 250mg for about a month for chronic bronchial infection but I still have the infection and cannot manage the side effects any longer. Will contact my dr. asap.

It is the best antibiotic tablet that should be taken along with Enflame Mr and cheston cold when you are suffering from severe cough,cold and high fever.

This medication has made me nauseated with stomach cramps and diarrhea while on it. Im on my last day thank God!

Do not use this drug. My 18yr old daughter was prescribed this drug for an ear infection. Within 24 hrs she developed a mild facial palsy and annoying hiccups. She also had severe nausea and vomiting. She was extremely exhausted and also had some dizziness . Bed ridden for days. We are now 36 hrs past last dose. Very slowly regaining her strength. Palsy, nausea and hiccups remain. It did clear her ear infection.

I am wondering how long this takes to work..

For the last week I've had a severe case of strep throat. I'm on Day 2 of 5 of this antibiotic (I'm allergic to amoxicillin) and I already feel like I'm fully better. No side effects so far. This stuff has worked wonders, defiantly would recommend.

I am now on my 3rd round of antibiotics. I did the 5 day Z-pak and had Doxycycline added to it after 4 days due to symptoms getting worse. My high fever did go down after 3 days of Z-pak. 13 days after my first Z-pak I had to do another. I have been having stomach pain since starting the doxy and it hasn't gone away. Hope this dose the trick.

I had a fever and a headache for the past five days so I saw the doctor today who found a throat infection. I was prescribed the z-pack, 2x250mg first day, 1x250mg on each of the next four days. I took the two pills three hours ago and did have a very mild diarrhea, nothing I can't live with. Otherwise my stomach has been gurgling a little, but I've had no other side-effect and like others, I am already finding that the infection is starting to be effected. I will post again after day two.
