| 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 | Pneumonia | None | I have taken this over 4 times in my life, mainly for bronchitis or sinusitis and never 1 time had even a minor side effect. | M | 32 | 5 days | 1/21/2010 | 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 | Sinus infection | none | What is wrong with all of you people? Anxiety attacks? Why would an antibiotic biochemically cause an anxiety attack? Zithromax's mechanism of action involves blocking specifically BACTERIAL protein production. It has absolutely NOTHING to do with neurological function or neurochemistry. This is the worst website ever created - it's basically a bunch of overly anxious patients who can't just listen to their doctor's advice and has to read other peoples' conspiracy theories about how every single drug out there should be taken off the market. You people need to see a psychologist, not a medical doctor. | M | 34 | 5 days | 6/9/2007 | 5 | Bronchitis/Sinusitis | Minor cramps that could've been caused by anything. | People on this site are complaining about how horrible this drug is but must realize that much of what they were experiencing could've been caused by any number of things... not necessarily the Zithromax. Some people seem to just need a scapegoat... anyway, great safe drug... I've used it several times with only very minor problems | M | 23 | 5 days | 5/15/2007 | 5 | Still unsure, Mon/Strep/Diff. Breat | I'm not sure if this is even a side effect, please contact me via e-mail if Gum Soreness IS a side effect, but I read someone else here had SORE GUMS. Ever since I've been taking this bs my gums feel like they were ripped open with a knife. I missed school thanks to this drug. I'd rather have a cold than this :O! | I gave this a 5 only so if you know GUM SORENESS is a Zithromax side affect, please contact me :( I can't talk to my doctor for a good few days. I could have mono for all I know :( | M | 15 | 5 days | 3/3/2007 | 5 | Sinusitis / Ear Infection | No side effects whatsoever. I did experience ringing in the ears, but this was likely caused by the infection, not the drug. | One day after taking the first dose, my ear infection had subsided considerably with one ear draining completely. Within a few days it was totally gone. This is the second time I have been prescribed this medication and I would definitely take it again, as it works fine for me. I am confused by some of the other comments on severe anxiety and other effects; didn't experience anything of the sort. You may want to consider causes other than the antibiotic if this is the case. | M | 20 | 5 days | 7/20/2007 | 5 | sinus infection | Tired, but how can one say if it's the illness of the medication? Sweats!!! | ZITHROMAX knocked out the fever quickly with little or no side effects, best antibiotic I've had. Except for the sweats, never had anything like this happen, a couple of hours after I fall asleep at night I wake up soaked in sweat, like I just got out of the pool, I now have to sleep in bath towels and change them for dry ones half way through the night. | M | 41 | 5 days | 2/13/2007 | 5 | sinus infection | None | This comment is for the person who posted just prior to this. Hopefully, you might read this. Sinus infections don't cause "night sweats." If you're having night sweats you need to see a doctor. You might need to be ruled out for more serious infections, like tuberculosis. | M | 28 | 5 days | 2/16/2007 | 5 | broncitis | none | on day two i feel as good as new | M | 22 | 5 days | 5/28/2005 | 5 | Sinus Infection | Minimal stomach pain. Mininmal Diarrea. | VERY effective and almost no side effects. Probably the best antibiotic I have ever had the option of taking. I wish they were all this nice. | M | 35 | 5 days | 2/25/2005 | 5 | pneumonia | stomache upset | great stuff. stopped a nasty case of pneumonia in a few days | M | 38 | 1 weeks | 2/9/2005 | 5 | Strep Throat | No Side effects | Did it's job | M | 21 | 5 days | 2/23/2005 | 5 | Upper Respiratory Infection | None | I just finished the regimen of pills. My chest and throat cleared up for the most part within 48 hours of taking zithromax. There are still some lingering effects of the infection, but I feel way better. When my wife took the same pills a few months back, she had a similar experience (having the sniffles for another week, but feeling much better). No delusions, stomach pains, or anything else that's been discussed in the other posts in my case. | M | 26 | 5 days | 4/3/2008 | 5 | Sinus/ respiratory infection | Dry mouth. little gassy | This product was a god sent to me, I did not have any of the side effects that where being describe here. In two days I was feeling sooo much better. I would recomend this product. I stumbled on this site because I was looking to see if I could drink beer on day 5 of taking this. Sorry to here about all the bad stuff and GI things, but my experience was very good. | M | 39 | 4 days | 5/1/2009 | 5 | Bronchitis | Slight nausea on Days 1 and 2 | After reading the comments here (after I begain taking the drug) I was almost scared to continue taking it. However, I consider myself fortunate to have had a positive experience with the medication. While I did have some nausea, I realize that as with road construction, sometimes things have to get a little more bumpy before they get a lot smoother. So I dealt with the nausea. By Day 3, I was no longer showing symptoms of the bronchitis. I was no longer coughing up blood, coughing up phlegm all day and all night. It really "dried me up". I'm glad that I took the medication. I guess it really is a patient by patient basis on how people respond to the drug. | M | 36 | 5 days | 2/22/2009 | 5 | Bronchitis | None | I was on the 5 day plan and it worked beautifully. No side effects whatsoever. | M | 50 | 5 days | 3/28/2009 | 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 | sinus infection | skin sensitivity | Very effective to clear sinus blockage while taking the drug. Symptoms reappeared shortly after I stopped taking it. | M | 34 | 6 days | 6/21/2002 |
