User Reviews for azithromycin oral

I did not know that I had to eat before taking this and around 40 ish minutes later I ate spicy food for dinner after taking it and let me tell you I had the worst nausea and I vomited. Still currently dizzy but yeah definitely eat and drink lots of water before taking it.

I waited too long to call the Dr but when he sent this out with presidone, it helped my breathing and cough within 2 days. We think I had the end of covid, had all shots. For me it's a life saver. I take with food otherwise I feel more nasua. I am taking 2nd prescription to make sure this gets rid of it. Not related to medicine but this virus has made me extremely weak. But feel like each day is better. Best medicine for what I needed. I'm 74.

I was put on a Z-PAC 5 day regimen and on my second day I started get a burning feeling in my stomach 20 minutes after taking it. I made sure I eat before taking it. I have one more day left . So the only side affect I have is the burning in my stomach. My sinus congestion is clearing up. So I believe it’s a good medication to take for sinus infection. I hope I don’t have to take it again. ??

2nd day on it, went to ER earlier feeling like I was going to die, dizzy, stomach pain, couldn’t stand, body was shaking uncontrollably!! No thanks

AWFUL!!! My doctor has prescribed 3 days pack azythromicin for pneumonia with green sputum and severe throat pain. Took it the first day and the sideeffects didn't appear at once. After some time I had skin itching, stomach pain/cramps, pins and needles in feet, heart rhythm changes, insomnia, nervousness. I woke up in each mornings as if I have been a heavy drinking those 3 days. In the 4 day the sideffects such as pins and needles and stomachache started to subside a little bit but heart arrhythmia and excess sweating continued. On the day 3-4 it cleared the green sputum but woke up with sore throat and fever and diarrhea. I will never use it again! It's toxic! I strongly recommend to find alternatives before taking azythromicin!Read More Read Less

I was diagnosed with strep throat. The infection went away on day three, but came back as soon as I took my last dose. The infection has actually moved to the other side of my mouth and gotten worse. I was given a second prescription. However, on my first dosage I am supposed to take two, I am on my second prescription and not gotten any better if not worse. I believe the strep has become immune. The only reason I am taking this is because I am allergic to amoxicillin.

I ended up in the ER a few hours after taking this medication for a sinus infection. My heart rate and blood pressure went up to 178/98 blood pressure and 130 pulse at resting. They are usually normal. I was kept overnight for evaluation. The cardiologist that saw me had no idea why this happened.

I get those annoying "ahem" coughs that last forever and have taken azithromycin for them. The first time was okay, just a little diarrhea on the first day. It worked though. The second time was much worse, I had basically every symptom, and have been nursing a bottle of peptobismol just to keep my guts inside. Anyways, my cough seems to be getting better, but I have to figure something out because this is not a drug you want to take a lot.

my Dr. has put me on this and said I will probably be on it permanently. He claims it's building anti bodies. I worry about long term effects.I do have to admit though, that it has kept me out of hospital for recurring lung infections.

It did help from the first dose which is a double dose on day one. And it caused upper stomach pain, bad at times. Diarrhea and orange stools as well. Other than that it worked great for my severe sinus infection. I have had Z-packs for years. Always worked great. Sometimes would need a second round of it though to completely knock out the infection.

Had a horribly blocked nose and mucous in sinuses. This medicine helped me very quickly and I noticed an improvement on the second day and I was perfectly fine by day 5. It really worked for me and the only side effect was slight fatigue, which is to be expected.

I had a really bad infection/abscess in my jaw. After 4 days of hoping it would go away on it's own, it started to spread and was clearly evolving into more than just a painful abscess. My doctor prescribed Azithromycin 250 - 5 day pack. After the first day(2-250 tabs) I could feel the abscess shrinking and after my final dose the infection was almost clear. By the second day after finishing the regimen the abscess was completely gone. It worked great for me and there were no side effects to speak of, none of the digestive distress some folks have complained about. Semi-Pro tip: a vegetarian/vegan diet does wonders for your digestive system and your overall well being.Read More Read Less

I was wowed how my throat felt soo much better after 1st day, by 2nd day i was impressed how my swollen tonsils are now half the size. By day 3 the infection looks to be gone, but boy am i feeling woozy and all the sudden vomited and gurgling stomach and sick. I literally have felt so sick that it scared me. I can't take anymore, calling it quits and hope the bacteria in my throat is completely cleared up.

I was diagnosed with an upper respiratory infection and was prescribed Azithromycin 250 mg tables for a 5 day treatment. The pharmacy tech said to call my ATU clinic for adjustments for Warfarin. ATU clinic had me adjust the warfarin for the 5 days I am on the Zpack and was told to watch for any bleeding or bruising more than normal for the next week. Warfarin and Azithromycin do not act well together, so adjustments need to be made temporarily.

I took this drug for Bartholin’s cyst and I had SEVERE stomach aches accompanied by vomiting. Previously I took the drug for another infection and also had the same issue, resulting in my inducing of vomit. I will NEVER use this drug again.

Worked great just eat a blan meal before hand and drink lots of water and you will be fine the side effects are well worth a clean test result wrap it before u tap it

Given for sinusitis. Took them. Got better. BUT. Within day or so. SEVERE PAIN top of thigh to right knee and surrounding muscle. Got a cane to walk. By wk later I could not get up steps could not put any pressure on knee. Walk in clinic. Told I have arthritis. Alls I know this happened when I took this drug. 3 wks now. Still very painful. Can not do steps. Pain lingers long time. So painful coming up steps I thought my knee woukd come out of my leg.

after two days of first dose my right shoulder,arm and hand is swollen and painful nonstop and earache to L side..

This antibiotic is one of the best for strep throat, whenever i get strep and take this medication my strep goes away fast , it's very fast and effective I feel like when i take any other type of antibiotics for strep throat it takes a week to feel better but for this it take 1/2 days for my strep to clear and feel like i can swallow again!

On day 4 for pneumonia. Massive pain in my guts since yesterday! Sweats/hot flashes, heart palpitations, very loose stools, cramping and bloating. Fuzzy vision, ordered a bunch of weird stuff online from being up all night tweaked out on this med. Taking probiotics since day 1. I already have auto immune hearing loss, and now Iâ??m scared after reading other posts. Iâ??m super tired and no appetite. Throat feels very dry. Wish I never took it but was desperate to get better from pneumonia. Still having difficulty breathing. On prednisone and nebulizer. Itâ??s a bad one. Oh I knew about not taking tums and antacids but not magnesium! Iâ??ve been taking vitamins daily that have magnesium but a fit the antacids the pharmacist just said it would make antibiotic not effective. Thank God tmmrw is last day of 5 pack (generic), but guess the next 2 weeks will be on alert for more side effects. Now my docsays it was probably viral. I was sooo sick I wasnâ??t clear to tell him to do a sputum test. UgggRead More Read Less
