4 | none | M | 4 days | 1/31/2012 | 4 | Sinus Infection | Fine the first day or two, but I took acidopholis with it to avoid diarrhea. Should have kept up with it, because today, day five, the stomach pains and diarrhea began. At least I'm done. | The sinus pain is all but gone, but there is some residual pain in my teeth. No more fever, phlem almost entirely cleared up. Probably allergies complicating the rest. | F | 5 days | 10/18/2005 | 4 | sinusitus | M | 10 days | 1/11/2005 | 3 | Bronchitis | None that I can think of. | This is the 2nd time I have gone to the Dr with this case of bronchitis. The first time I was prescribed AMOXI/CLAV, Prednisone, and Atrovent inhaler. Didn't help much. 2nd time, I was prescribed the Zithro-3 pack, AMI-TEX LA, and Serevent Diskus inhaler. This is my 3rd day and the color of the pleghm is clearing up and I think I am getting better. I have been sick with a cold since December and Bronchitis since January. If this finally goes away and doesn't come back, then I will give Zithromax a 5. We shall see. | M | 3 days | 2/25/2005 | 3 | 8 mos. old with Bronchitis | After giving my son ZITHROMAX for 4 days out of 5, I noticed a bad rash on my son's face and then began to notice tiny bumps all over his body. I contacted the doctor and she suggested not to give him his last dose. But now that I look back on it, he did seem more irritable, cranky, not wanting to sleep, sometimes out of it, and at times he even seemed to belly ache. I hope that there was nothing else going on that we do not know about. I really don't like giving medicine to my son because he can't tell us how he feels. I think I am going to try harder to follow the naturopathic and homeopathic route. | M | 4 days | 9/4/2007 | 3 | 9 year old son with sinus infection | 2 to 3 hours after taking the medicine, he would get pains in his stomach. On the last nite of taking the med, he had terrible pains and diarrhea..… | 5 days | 3/28/2009 | 3 | Inner ear infection | Stomach pain on the first night, weird taste in mouth | I took my first dose of this stuff yesterday and it made my stomach feel weird but I went to sleep and didn't really notice unless I was awake. I took some more today and it did make me really hungry. My digestive system seems a little off but nothing that severe. I have a headache but that could be from the ear infection itself. Otherwise it looks like I won't have any horrible reactions to this drug. The only thing I can't stand is this bizarre taste in my mouth THAT WON'T GO AWAY. It's gross. | F | | 6/20/2009 | 3 | 1X day | 11/18/2013 | 3 | sinus infection | for people sensitive to meds: try this... okay, I have tried every antibiotic to the exact same effect: anxiety, heart racing, dizziness, disorientation, odd feeling in legs, etc., - to the point where I can not even drive to work. I have spoken to many, many doctors about this and they always are totally surprised and say they have never heard this before, so.... I have come to realize that there is a minority of people who are very very sensitive to antibiotics. If you are on this site, you are probably one of them. I keep taking this drug because it's "only" 5 days (which can seem like a lifetime). Here is my plan,... completely against the advise of doctors... this med is prescribed for some ailments to be taken every other day over a long period of time. which means that it stays in the system. NOT at the high levels of taking it every day, but it's still there. so, for us sensitive people whom doctors are always surprised that we have this effect from the med, | F | 5 days 250mg 1X day | 4/10/2014 | 3 | sore throat | 1X day | 3/12/2015 | 3 | 1 days | 4/24/2016 | 3 | Ear Infection | This is my first time trying this medication. I am on my 5th day & have diarrhea, nausea, fatigue. The ear infection went away but I just hate the side effects it left me with. I will NEVER EVER get this medication again. =( | F | 5 days | 11/17/2005 | 3 | 1 days | 9/17/2016 | 2 | ear each | after third dose suddenly felt shot of breath for several minutes. Started taking Neuroten on 6th day after zithromax and had seviar anxity attack and had to call 911. | F | 3 days | 12/14/2004 | 2 | ear each | after third dose suddenly felt shot of breath for several minutes. Started taking Neuroten on 6th day after zithromax and had seviar anxity attack and had to call 911. | F | 3 days | 12/14/2004 | 1 | Zithromax Linked to Stevens Johnson Syndrome | | 6/30/2006 | 1 | sore throat | Unbearable stomach pains. Rash on palms and sole of feet. Two trips to emergency with side pain. Admitted to local hospital by family doctor with spleen bleed. Five days later ambulance ride to Mayo. Zithromax caused bleeding disorder, inhibitor to Factor V necessary for clotting. Doctors didn't believe me when I said it was the zithromax. They were sure it was cancer. Half a dozen cat scans, hundreds of blood draws and thousands of dollars later: guess what?-It was the zithromax!!! | I'll never take this whole family of drugs again. | F | 5 days | 8/5/2006 | 1 | Lung/Sinus infection | After two days of taking this drug I had total loss of smell and taste. My sense of smell started coming back a few days after I stopped taking the medicine. My smell and taste have not yet fully recoverd after a week. A very scarey experience | 5 days ? 1X day | 5/14/2012 | 1 | Upper respiratory infection | Hives all over my body, heart palpatations, dizziness and much, much worse than before I took the first 3 pills! It's been 3 days and all the hives have not gone away. | F | 2 days | 6/18/2012 | 1 | pneumonia | 1 days | 12/16/2012 |
