| 5 | Respiratory infection | None at all | Generic version, made in Israel | M | 48 | 5 days 250 mg 1X day | 2/17/2010 | 5 | severe sinus infection | "gas" | Ive had serious pain from my sinuses for many years. Tried this for the first time and on day 3 I can honestly say Ive felt better than I have in years. Zithromax seems to have worked a miracle for me | M | 42 | 3 days 2X day | 3/24/2010 | 5 | Bacterial sinusitis | I didn't experience any side effects. | For the first time in my life, I experienced a case of bacterial sinusitis where there was sinus congestion that progressed into severe congestion with purulent discharge. At around 10 or 12 days, it starte to cause pain in my upper cheekbones, head, and by day 14 I had pain in my teeth. I realized this was not the typical congestion I have had in the past and went to see a physician who prescribed the Zithromax. Within 24 hours, there was relief and by day three I was basically cured. First time I took antibiotics in 20 years so I was a bit concerned about side effects but surpringly had none at all. | M | 35 | 5 days 1X day | 3/28/2010 | 5 | Little bit of lethargy, but nothing otherwise. | Have taken 'Z-Packs' at multiple points in my life, have never had any side effects. Great antibiotic *for me* (but maybe not for you). | M | 28 | 4 days ? 1X day | 5/21/2010 | 5 | Sinusitis | Sour stomach at first, then my friend told me to load up on probiotics. Bought a bucket of yogurt and the pains went away. | Best sour stomach I ever had. Sinus infection -- ((OVERKILL)) | M | 27 | 5 days 250 1X day | 6/30/2010 | 5 | Various (UTI, etc.) | A bit of lethargy, but barely noticeable. | Have taken Z-Packs at many points throughout my life. Have never really had any side effects and it has always been effective at eradicating the infection (knock on wood...). | M | 27 | 5 days ? 1X day | 7/12/2010 | 5 | Strep throat | Like all drugs, it can be bad for some, but this is not a universally bad drug. I'm allergic to the penicillin family, so all I can take for strep throat is eurythromycin or azithromycin. I've had strep several times, and never had any problems with the mycin family, and it always knocked out my strep. | M | 35 | 5 days 250 mg 1X day | 8/18/2010 | 5 | swell pharynx | severe abdominal pain for about 30 minutes, two hours after taking the pill. | This is the second time in my life that i had to use zithromax. Asides of the abdominal pain, this drug cured me effectively and in record time. i would highly recomend it, but just if you really need it, because it is a strong drug. | M | 25 | 3 days 1X day | 8/26/2010 | 5 | sinus infection | I have never experienced side effects except the very first time I took this drug. After that first time - I seem to not have had issues with it. The first time I took it - it caused "loose stools". | M | 55 | 5 days 250 mg 1X day | 10/24/2010 | 5 | (potential sinusitis) | This was my first time of taking this drug today. Judging on the responses below, let the fun begin!! Hopefully I'll put a good full review once the course is over! | M | 25 | 1 days 500 1X day | 4/28/2011 | 5 | Acute Bacterial Bronchitis | None | M | 31 | 8 days 500mg | 1/10/2012 | 5 | strep throat | Felt better after 1st dosage. On my 3rd day now and it feels like my illness is gone completely. Side effects are a bit of gas and more active bowel movement. | M | 29 | 5 days 500 mg | 3/28/2013 | 5 | unknown bacterial infection | None | I had some sort of bacterial infection following a virus, according to the doctor. Symptoms were runny nose, congestion, coughing, tiredness. Felt better within 2 days. | M | 47 | 5 days | 9/5/2006 | 5 | sinus infection | none- suppose to be related to erythromycin which gives me sever nausea with and without food...i had no side effects taking this product --the 2 tabs first day followed by 1 tab for 4 more days each 250 mg's total of 5 days...is.. usually feels better by day 3 | i perfer this antibiotic over the 3-a-day for 10 day drugs out there.... i get sinus infections everytime i get a cold....why cant they just give me this drug the first time instead of amoxicillian for 10 days it never works and then give me the stuff that works | M | 35 | 2 days | 11/10/2006 | 5 | bronchitis, sinus | Severe diarrhea the first day and loose stool thereafter. Large red blotches on back with no itchig. Stomach ache first few days. | It seemes to have cured my bronchitis and my sinus dried up. I am now on day 8 of the Z/Pack. Hope the side effects will go away! | M | 79 | 5 days | 10/12/2005 | 5 | Urinary Tract Infection | Extreme diareha 2 hours after taking 1000mg dose, cleared up after 1 day | Took Zithromax for what was thought to be chlamydia, had urine test 14 hours after taking 1000mg, test revealed nothing. Either Zithromax worked incredibly fast or original diagnosis was wrong. | M | 36 | 1 days | 8/23/2005 | 5 | Throat and Lung infection | First day I had nausia that was pretty strong, about 6 hours after taking my first two pills..but I think part of it was because of the vitamins I was also taking. So STOP any usual vitamins, fish oils, B vitamins etc. The reaction should be less. My second day was small amount of intestial distribance, but totally dealable. | WOW!!!! What 5 days of pencillin could not help, this stuff stopped dead in it's tracks. Day two, my cough is now productive, my throat is only mildly annoyed, no more horrible fighing just to swallow water and I can stop taking the strong pain meds that I had to take the previous 5 days. I am already starting to feel better. Still tired, but wow is this better than the last 5 days of my life. It is worth dealing with the nausa in the beginning. Just keep taking it. I have 3 more days left. Will continue the treatment and continue to rest. 10 stars! | M | 46 | 2 days | 8/22/2007 | 5 | Walking Pneumonia | none | Great Help! Wonderful medication | M | 14 | 5 days | 1/22/2007 | 5 | Chest Infection & Pnemonia | Sore stomach 1st day, nothing after that. Just a cure. | Had cough for 6 weeks after working in a very dusty area. Couldn't sleep, head congestion too. I thought it was viral, but it never cured, so went to Dr. who ordered a chest Xray that showed pnemonia. The Z-pack cured 99 percent of symptoms in 5 days, they say it carries over for a few more days. I'm actually just taking day 5 pill today. I think the dusty area had dried rat droppings or other bio-hazards, that I unfortunately inhaled. Watch out for bird droppings, rat droppings, and dried urine. Bad news. | M | 59 | 5 days | 7/29/2005 | 5 | bacterial infection | I pooped the world largest turd. The diameter was no kiding 5 inches. Other than that, I was great! | Big turd in the morning then the runs all day long. | M | 56 | 5 days | 6/14/2005 |
