| 5 | bacterial infection | I pooped the world largest turd. The diameter was no kiding 5 inches. Other than that, I was great! | Big turd in the morning then the runs all day long. | M | 56 | 5 days | 6/14/2005 | 1 | scalp infection | Would Definitely NOT NOT! NOT!! recommend even trying this drug - I was in the emergency room Twice! Because of it !! (after taking Only 2 tablets) | Try anything else but DO NOT NOT! NOT!!!! take this drug!!!! | M | 53 | 2 days | 6/14/2005 | 2 | Pelvic Inflammatory Disease | NAUSEA!!! upset stomach, shortness of breath, feelings of vomiting, uncomfortable urination, moody, sick, weak. | My doctor prescribed me to take 500 MG ( 4 Pills in one shot! )for one day. I dont know if i may be sensitive to these medications due to the fact that i had a stomach ulcer but other than that, I still dont know if the infection went away. | F | 21 | 1 days | 6/12/2005 | 3 | Bronchitis | mild stomach pain, mild diarrhea, sweats | -had taken on 3 previous occasions with no side effects. Now they are popping up. Some difficulty controlling asthma in spite of the fact that this time the bronchitis was mild. This last problem is worse at night. During the day i feel fine. Probably will switch off Zithromax next time. DOn't want the side effects to worsen as it seems to be doing. The stomach pain and mild diarrhea were on day 1 only. Sweats have appeared on day 3. Still some mild symptoms of bronchitis which usually disappear after day 1-2. | M | 36 | 3 days | 6/1/2005 | 5 | sinus infection | none whatsoever | worked great for me | F | 50 | 5 days | 5/29/2005 | 5 | broncitis | none | on day two i feel as good as new | M | 22 | 5 days | 5/28/2005 | 3 | Ear Infection | None that I noticed. | After the first two days I was feeling a lot better, by day 10 I was fine and pain free..By day 13 the ear infection had returned and was as painful as ever. Seems to me that this drug is pretty effective with some infections but everyone I've spoken to who was treated for an ear infection ended up with a bounce back infection..I'd probably try this drug again but not for another ear infection. | F | 31 | 5 days | 5/27/2005 | 2 | Upper respiratory infec./bronchitis | 2 days after taking my last dose I've expierienced the worst case of dizziness, disorientation and fatigue ever in my life! 7 days later I have gotten worse adding nausea to the list. I cannot function on a normal basis. Cannot think clearly, always too dizzy. Probably could not pass a field sobriety test. | Will never take this drug again. It got rid of my illness, but gave me another. I think I prefer to have the upper respiratory infection with bronchitis. | F | 36 | 5 days | 5/27/2005 | 4 | Respiratory infection | Stomach cramps and abdominal pain in front and back. Kind of alarming at first since I have kidney problems and thought I was having an episode. Moderate diarrea major, sweats and low grade fever, slight dizziness and muscle aches. | Weird, I have taken this before and never had any side effects. The symptoms of my infection were gone within hours of taking the first 2 pills, but my stomach was girgling out of control. | F | 39 | 3 days | 5/25/2005 | 4 | sinus infection | dizziness, stomach cramps, loose stool | still working, kept taking the pills, side effects no big deal. | F | 35 | 5 days | 5/25/2005 | 2 | SINUS INFECTION AFTER A COLD | NONE | I had a persistent and troublesome cough from a sinus drip into the throat after a cold. Family doctor prescribed Zithromax as there appeared to be some infection.[yellow-green mucous ]Symptoms cleared somewhat after 10 days but cough contined and got worse there after. It seemed that the drug was in effective as the symptoms returned after taking the drug.. Currently taking amoxicillin and clavulanic acid. | M | 67 | 5 days | 5/23/2005 | 2 | Sinus Infection | SEVERE stomache cramps, nausea, and diahrrea. Wish I'd been clued in with the side effects, the cramps were really scary and set on fast. | An hour after taking the first dose with food I got nauseous and then SEVERE stomache cramps, I didn't think I could drive home from the restraunt. Slight, diahrrea but nothing too bad yet, however I have not eaten since taking the pill. Cramps have continued since then, but not coming as rapidly, still painfull enough to double you over though. I'm only on day 2 with the meds so I hope this goes away soon. Pepto-bismol does nothing to help the cramps, it only makes your poo black. On the upside my sore throat is almost completely cleared up and it hasn't even been 24 hours yet. Cough still around, but I think the congestion in my chest is clearing up as well. | F | 21 | 2 days | 5/17/2005 | 3 | Sinus Infection | Intense nausea, stomach pain and loss of appetite. Within 1 to 2 hours after taking the medicine, I felt very nauseous and thought I would throw up. However, I never actually vomitted. Sleeping was difficult, because my stomach pain kept me awake. | I have taken the Z-pack 4 or 5 times before this and NEVER had any negative side effects whatsoever. I don't know what is different this time, but my first instinct is to blame a bad batch/lot of the medication. Also, my infection has not improved. What was just a sinus infection has now migrated into my lungs such that I am coughing up copious thick, green mucus and nearly choking on the junk when I try to clear my bronchial tubes. I am going back to my doctor ASAP to get a different medication this time. My cough has gotten worse and my voice is still very raspy and gruff, like a man's. The ONLY change is that my throat doesn't hurt intensely anymore. | F | 27 | 3 days | 5/15/2005 | 1 | infection on shoulder from biopsy | HORRIBEL ABDOMINAL PAINS!!!!!!!!! GASES ANS THROWING UP!!! WHAT HE HECK??!!!! THERE SHOULD BE SOME PAIN MEDICATION FOR THIS STUFF. | I guess everyone is different but this is horrible!! | F | 49 | 2 days | 5/13/2005 | 4 | upper lung infection | this is not the first time i am taking zithromax but this time i am feeling general tiredness and feel very sleepy. all muscles ache. | M | 38 | 5 days | 5/6/2005 | 2 | tonsilitus | stomach pains and loose stools became more frequent with each dose. by last day i had a | more research in clinical trials please!!! this is too much risk. i will never take again... | F | 31 | 5 days | 5/6/2005 | 3 | sinus infection | VERY minimal stomach cramps. Broke out in an allergic rash on extremities, itchy after first day of taking. | Unfortunately, I had an allergic reaction to this medication. I was on it for two days and had no other bothersome side effects. If not for the allergic reaction, I would have stayed on it. | F | 29 | 2 days | 5/5/2005 | 2 | whopping cough | VERY dizzy and sick to my stomach after the 2 pill dose. shortness of breath, and now my right ear is aching. | Had to take it because i was exposed to whopping cough at work and caught a nasty case of it. i wouldnt recomend this to anyone unless you have no other choice. penecillin would have been great! just take the single pill instead of the 2 pills at once because that is HORRIBLE!! i was checking my email and thought i was gonna vomit everywhere but didnt amazinly. it feels like your having a mild asthma attack. i still have 2 pills to go and have stopped because this is a nasty antibiotic. just beware and and dont freak out when you have trouble breathing and stomach aches. | M | 20 | 3 days | 4/27/2005 | 1 | bronchitis | After taking 4 out 5 pills I awoke from a deep sleep with my heart racing about out of my chest. Urgent care said no heart attack, just a reaction to the z pack. It finally let up after 10 days of what felt like a never ending panic attack. | Would rather suffer from the bronchities than ever feel that way again. Will not retake. | F | 48 | 5 days | 4/24/2005 | 3 | strep throat | abdominal pain, nausea, vomitting | Unsure if side effects are from the medicine or the illness | F | 31 | 5 days | 4/18/2005 |
