 1  Uncertain why it was given to me The pain I experienced was horrible and intensified in the ribcage, along with shivering and body chills, slight nausea and I noticed pale poo and darker urine...

 3  Eyelid infection Blurry vision for short time This is the version made by Bausch for the eye - a gel topical called ophthalmic erythromycin. Very difficult to administer. It’s like petroleum jelly. Not good instructions from Bausch in the box but found better one at medline here: https://medlineplus.gov/druginfo/meds/a613018.html So far not much improvement but it can take at least 3 days.

 1  Campylobacter infection Felt fine for the first 2 days, however on day 3 about 20 mins after taking it I started to experience extreme stomach cramps and diarrhoea which burned. The pain gradually got worse and my blood pressure sky rocketed to 120/140 with heart rate of 140 bpm. Lying in bed, in too much pain to sleep, I went to the bathroom when I was overcome with a wave of ice cold sensations throughout my body. I honestly was terrified I was dying. Within a minute or so I was violently throwing up, around 20-30 times. I feel a little better now that I've vomited but the pain is still very intense. My family and I have been suffering with campylobacter food poisoning for the past 4 weeks. All three of us were prescribed erythromycin but I'm the only one who has side effects so far. Will not be touching them with a barge pole again. Never felt so ill in my life. F 29 7 days

 1  Infection after childbirth Constant hunger, wind pains, frequent need to empty bowels (not ideal after having a baby!), nausea, sickness even with empty stomach. Sweating, flushed face. I have had this drug before for many things and I've usually been prescribed 250mg 4 times per day. This time over been prescribed double that.. I feel absolutely dreadful. I wake to feed my newborn and sit there feeling sick then wake again half an hour after dropping off and actually go to be sick. Could really do without this. I'm going to have to stop taking it over the weekend I can't cope with this. All of this for an infection I may or may not have! And even if I do, it's potentially the wrong antibiotic for it. F 28 2 days

 4  Severe gum infection The high satisfaction rate was because it did the job. But I am sure it nearly killed me. This might have been because it was taken alongside a week of Metronizadol. Severe nausea, headache, generally feeling very unwell. Headach/vertigo/very faint. Flushed face at times and very very tired!. On top exceptionally sore mouth. Whole thing became a nightmare. I also got very anxious; was convinced I would end up in hospital, which is unusual for me. Not sure if it was lack of sleep or being ill, but lost sense of time. It's only been a week but feels like months! But it did work better than the Metronizadol..which was meant to be the biggie. 250 F 58 5 days
