BIAXIN  (CLARITHROMYCIN):  Clarithromycin is used to treat a wide variety of bacterial respiratory tract infections. Clarithromycin is known as a macrolide antibiotic. It works by stopping the growth of bacteria. This antibiotic treats only bacterial infections. It will not work for viral infections (such as common cold, flu). Using any antibiotic when it is not needed can cause it to not work for future infections.   FDA Approval Date: 1991-10-31 (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)

 5  Ear Infection, Bronchitis Bitter taste always no matter what the dose size is 250mg x2. Larger doses cause weird dreams, headache and stomach problems 500 mg x2. I prefer the liquid it goes down easy but leaves a bit of a bitter aftertaste! I have several drug allergies and this antibiotic does not bother me at all! It starts to work in about 3-4 days. But they key is not to take it late you have to be ontime to keep it level in your bloodstream. F 41 10 days

 2  Throat infection I became semi-comatose, experienced a sense of impending death, out-of-body sensation, impairment of comprehension, memory, personality change, taste aversion, panic attacks, major depression, loss of ability to perform job or work full-time, complete disruption of family/friend relationships, confusion, disorientation, insomnia, elevated liver enzymes, and heart irregularities. It has been over 5 yrs since treated with Biaxin, I have only recently been able to regain enough capacity to recognize the association. As a health care provider I must acknowledge that it is an excellent product for specific infections, especially respiratory, if you are not allergic. (I must point out that I had a similar experience with E-mycin several yrs before, but discontinued use after 1 dose. The treating Dr. told me it was in my head (a dentist). Still, I always listed it as an allergy. Unfortunately, when treated with Biaxin, I was too ill to check the script & my husband didn't know what it was. My Dr. & pharmacy both had E-mycin on my allergy lists, and both knew I was taking Seldane, which was known to interact with E-mycin-both Macrolides.) F 48 5 days
