| 1 | Low grade Fever sweating | Bad rash - hives on chest - under breast on day three. Very hard to sleep. Low grade fever 99.6 and sweating which I had before starting drug which did not go away. Took this drug twice before and it worked without notiable side effects (year and half ago & two years before that as I became allergic to penicillin at around age 40. Rash mostly going away after one week but still itchy arms & face. I am a super healthy 67 year old ski - run - swim and look 40 . It seems to make you scared and hard to sleep and fever 99.6 and sweating doesn't stop. Drinking tons of water seems to help with horrible rash. | Drug is obviously not worth it. If you are sick with flu like symptoms just wait it out. Let your body heal itself. If you are already allergic to antibiotics DON'T take this. | F | 67 | 2 days 250 mg | 12/20/2014 | 1 | Dental work | diarrhea stomach pains, nausea, loose, smelly stools, foggy vision that comes and goes | I had no symptoms until 3 weeks after medication was finished. Severe stomach pains, coupled with loose, smelly stools with an urgency to go each time. I also developed slight occasional blurry vision. I wish I read the warnings before allowing my dentist to prescribe it to me as a "precaution". Doctor advised me to take pro biotics. 8 days in and the horrible symptoms have not let up. Pharmacy gave me the generic "azithromax". Not sure if that matters. I strongly urge people to reconsider taking medication "just cause" | M | 39 | 5 days 1X day | 12/16/2014 | 4 | Chlamydia | On the Zithromax, I felt severely nauseous after the single powerful dosing. I got dizzy, and felt like I was going to throw up. The next few days I had a dull stomach ache, minor headache, and a little ear ache. I think it just makes you feel drained!! Supposedly normal though. | Clears up STI which is excellent. | F | 22 | 1 days 1000 mg 1X day | 12/13/2014 | 1 | Cough | Mild gastro upset the first 3 days, then BAM! On day 4 as I was going to bed I had terrible stomach pains, which started an almost 24-hour battle with diarrhea, and one episode of vomiting. I spent all of that time sleeping when I wasn't in the bathroom It has been almost 48 hours and I am still nauseous, weak, and have hardly any appetite. I guess the good news is that my cough went away, but I will never take this again. | F | 42 | 1 days | 12/13/2014 | 2 | tonsilitis | Aftertaste that lingered. Nausea, extreme headache. | F | 30 | 5 days 250 | 12/6/2014 | 4 | chlamydia | I experienced some muscle aches and a bruised kind of sorness in the muscles. Otherwise, I got retested twice and since taking the med I am STI free so I'm happy. | F | 22 | 1 days 1000mg | 11/29/2014 | 1 | Upper respiratory infection | First day after taking double dose had horrible diarrhea. By third day feeling worse. Super tired with body aches and felt feverish. Called my dad to take me to ER, by the time he arrived tremors originating in my lower back and spreading out to legs and arms started. I asked him to call 911. Rapid heart rate, tremors and extreme lethargy made in impossible for me to walk. Had to be transported by ambulance to hospital. Of course hospital said I was fine, said I had flu and sent me home. Next day slept for about 14 hrs over the course of the day. Took last dose today. More tremors and extreme feelings of anxiety. I will never take this again. My cough must be caused by virus because it still has not gone away. | F | 37 | 5 days 250mg | 11/29/2014 | 2 | Strep throat | I've taken this medicine for 2 days now and needless to say I feel horrible. Nausea within a hour after taking the first dose and it has only got worse. Unable to sleep, heart beating really fast to the point I can hear it thumping in my left ear. It's also making me feel really weird, dizzy, severe headache whenever standing up. | M | 24 | 2 days 120 | 11/27/2014 | 1 | Pneumonia | No side effects just didn't work at all,wasted. 5 days had to go back to be seen again | M | 50 | 5 days 250 | 11/24/2014 | 1 | Sinus Infection | I noticed not "feeling like myself" or "thinking like myself" the first afternoon after taking it. I felt very dizzy and weak. It wasn't until Day 4, that I developed severe, hard abdominal and intestinal pains, followed by diarrhea. The only thing that eliminated the pain was the diarrhea. The following day my intestines, colon, and abdomen were still sore and I felt nauseated. I also noticed that shortly after taking the Azithromycin that I lost my appetite completely. Foods that I would normally eat I could not tolerate. I also feel as though I am losing moments of time and my concentration is off. | DO NOT TAKE THIS DRUG. | F | 54 | 5 days 250mg 1X day | 11/21/2014 | 3 | teeth extractions with bone infection | Candida growth on tongue, vagina and lower colon. Constipation with rectal bleeding which cleared up after several days of super strength candida destroyer, fiber pills with softening agent, sipping water all day. I had some coldness of fingers and toes, so I walked alot, sipped on water & some unflavored yogurt without sugar. | I would advise lots of caution in prescribing this to the elderly or prescribe another type of antibiotic. | F | 35 | 5 days 1X day | 11/18/2014 | 4 | Double pneumonia pleurisy bronchiti | Bad cystic acne breakout after completing treatment for pneumonia.
