| 5 | Tonsillitis; pre-surgery | A little loose stool. Otherwise no problems. | Usually start to feel better within 2 days, bounce back really fast. This time tonsils shrinking nicely, less scarlet, still white patches; and ears hurt, but just exhausted, not bouncing back. Oh well, getting older. Ultimately had to cancel surgery anyway. | F | 65 | 4 days 250mg | 6/15/2020 | 5 | Major Sinus Infection | Feeling slightly hyper. | I had a very bad sinus infection for a month, with congestion, fatigue, and sweats. Within a day the medication took care of 50% of the symptoms. By the 3rd day I felt great. Yes, I felt a bit hyper but I take Klonopin for anxiety. No known GI issues. | F | 55 | 1 days 500 1X day | 5/27/2020 | 5 | Pneumonia | Anxiety and panic attacks, insomnia, accelerated heart rate, fatigue, chest flutters, and negative thoughts | PLEASE DO NOT USE!!! It's been eight days since my last dose and the side effects are still present. The anxiety and panic attacks are overwhelming. I am averaging about a solid 3 hours of sleep. I've taken magnesium and chamomile which allow me to get to sleep but it hits hard at night. I spend my day avoiding activities because of fear of an attack. How can this medication still be issued???? I hope this comes to an end soon because each day brings about more negative thoughts. | M | 55 | 3 days 100mg | 4/25/2020 | 5 | Chlamydia Epididymitis | I took 1000mg first day with 200mg Doxycycline then 500mg Zithromax and 200mg Doxycycline each day for 8 days. The drugs together made me feel very tired and I was sweating heavily and had a higher temperature . No other problems and all symptoms went away before the end of the 8 days. In total over the 8 days I took 8.5 grams of Zithromax and 2.8 grams of Doxycycline. My partner took the same and she complained of stomach problems and cramps. She weighs 47Kg and I weigh 94kg so that is why it affected her more. | My partner took the same and she complained of stomach problems and cramps. She weighs 47Kg and I weigh 94kg so that is why it affected her more possibly? | M | 63 | 8 days 500 2X day | 8/19/2017 | 5 | Chlamydia | Nausea Abdominal Pain Headache Diarrhea | I do very well with medications and my stomach is pretty strong so I didn't have any severe issues with this medicine . I've looked up many reviews and I was so scared to take Zithromax. Before taking it eat a starchy food like pasta . Drink lots and lots of water before and after the pill . Get some ginger ale and crackers as well. You will feel so sick if you do not eat prior to taking this medication. | F | 18 | 1 days 1000MG | 8/10/2017 | 5 | Bronchitis | It worked for me many yrs ago. I'm getting now for the current bronchitis. I make sure to drink tons of water. | Sorry for the allergies to others. I realized now everybody is totally different. | F | 50 | 1 weeks 30 | 3/23/2017 | 5 | sinus infection/upper respiratory | slight loose stool | Works well for me and have never had a problem. Sometimes have needed a second 5 day pack to kick out the remains of sinus infection. Have always taken with food at same time each of the days, and kept hydrated and have never had a problem with this drug. It has worked for me when tetracycline, doxycycline and amoxicillin have not. | F | 55 | 5 days 250 mg 1X day | 2/16/2017 | 5 | pneumonia and sinusitis, plus skin | I have had no negative side effects | My chest was congested, I had a very bad cough of long duration,and my nose was running constantly. I could not breathe. After 4 days, I am much improved. Additionally, for the past 46 years I have had a hospital acquired skin infection (from the hand sanitizer in the pediatric ICU) that appeared to be untreatable--it is almost clear. Makes me wonder why no one ever prescribed this drug for me before. I am very thankful for the Zpak. | F | 76 | 4 days | 1/15/2017 | 5 | Bacterial throat/ear infection | None...perhaps a bit of gas | Take natural yogourt and acidophilus pills and you should be fine! | F | 62 | 5 days 250 mg X 6 1X day | 4/24/2016 | 5 | Uraplasma | Nausea and loose stools | I am 3 months and 2 weeks pregnant, and was prescribed a 1000mg dose of this medication. Had no problems other than some nausea and diareah | F | 23 | 1 days 1000mg | 4/23/2016 | 5 | Chronic Sinus Infection | None | I have suffered chronic sinus infections for years and this seems to be the first antibiotic that has ever really helped me to feel better. I have to agree that the negative comments left on this antibiotic seem to be more symptoms of an illness and not this antibiotic.. It seems to work great for me. | F | 35 | 10 days 250 mg 1X day | 3/15/2016 | 5 | Pneumonia | Bloating to the point my jeans are very tight all over, loss of appetite, dry mouth with constant thirst, reduced urination, tinny taste in mouth, some stomach discomfort but not all that bad. | After suffering through 5 days of 103-104 fevers, extreme literally uncontrollable chills, body aches, fatigue prior to a Dx of pneumonia (thought I had the worst flu in recorded history), all I can say is thank God for this antibiotic. I'll take this drug any day rather than die a slow, painful death from pneumonia or sepsis. For the all the folks on this board whining about the side effects of this antibiotic, you have obviously never taken Flagyl. Let's keep the side effects in context. Folks, otherwise healthy people (many of them children) used to drop dead from a wide variety of disease on a daily basis. Count your blessings that you live in this age. | F | 46 | 5 days 250 | 11/12/2015 | 5 | Sinus infection | After first "double dose" (2; 250 mg tabs) I had diarrhea about 30 minutes later. But not after that one time. Night sweats - had to change my tshirt out in the middle of the night but I was also taking Nyquil so I could get some sleep, so that could be it. Also, from coughing and hacking so much, severe back ache. | This is the only stuff that ever works. Every year I get a cold, and it turns into a sinus infection. Drips into my lungs, and kicks up my asthma. I take this zPack and it kills it fast. | M | 48 | 5 days 250 1X day | 5/10/2015 | 5 | Had problems with throat and allergy | I took z pack and on second day got diarrhea, fourth day got diarrhea again. Second day after finishing cycle got diarrhea again. Loose stool ever since. Stomach acting up. Day 8 after cycle finnishing (diarrhea). Still stomach acting up. When will i get back to normal? | The ZPACK COMPANY LOST A CONSUMER... NEVER AGAIN... | M | 38 | 5 days | 3/16/2015 | 5 | Acute bronchitis | No real side effects. Slightly softer stools but with culturelle probiotic The gastric upset is mild. | After day two I felt so much better . Coughing became more productive and i was able to expel the phlegm easily ,before that my head would feel like exploding from coughing without producing anything but major cough spasms. By day three even more gunk coming out. This drug works well . Last yr. i fought it for a month. This time I went to the dr. Immediately and what a difference. Try it it is relief!! | F | 58 | 5 days 250mg | 12/20/2014 | 5 | sinus infection | Headache for 5 days but all other systoms cleared. | F | 34 | 5 days | 5/9/2014 | 5 | Strep throat | I was slightly stupid but nothing terrible. | M | 16 | 5 days | 4/3/2014 | 5 | Sinus Infection | Nothing significant, slight nausea & gas maybe | After really bad gastrointestinal side effects with erythromycin, I switched to Zithromax and it was MUCH better. I did not notice anything other than mild nausea the first day or two, which may have still been leftover effects from the erythromycin. Sinus infection improved considerably after just a couple of days. | F | 40 | 5 days 250 MG 1X day | 12/4/2013 | 5 | Sinus Infection | None | I tend to get sinus infections and respiratory bugs often. I always ask for Z-Pak when I see the doctor because it works very well for me. I have never had one un-desirable side effect. I take it without food and it doesn't upset my stomach or anything of the sort. | M | 21 | 5 days 250 1X day | 9/11/2013 | 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 |
