 2  sinus infection mild diarrhea, nausea, abdominal pain. About a week after I finished taking it I broke out in an itchy rash on arms, legs, chest, back, neck, and face. Although it cured my sinus infection, I wouldn't take it again. Too many miserable side effects. F 28 3 days

 2  strep throat had extraordinary stomach pains that drove me to tears within an hour of taking this medicine. This cumulated with sitting on the toilet with diarrhea, and throwing up in the bathtub at the same time. I thought it would get better after time, but after 2 doses it was so unearable I had to call my doctor and have her switch my medication. the side effects were worse than the strep! This is the ONLY medication I've ever had an adverse reaction to. F 25 1 days

 1  Ear Infection None. Zithromax was not an effective treatment for my Ear Infection even after taking the full Z-Pac dose. I would be very cautious about trying this medicine again. M 19 5 days

 3  strep throat Had hives (red to purple color)all over my body. This include hives on my palms of my hands. These hives on my hands caused pain in my hands which I believe was caused from being swollen. Wouldn't take again since it didn't appear to agree with me. Did get rid of my strep throat, however still not completely recovered from hives so not sure if I will see more side effects besides the hives. F 34 7 days

 4  strep throat / tonclitis Weird Horrible stomach pains an hr. after taking it...convultions maybe? Im surprised the neighbor hasn't heard me crying. 1st day lasted min. of 5 hrs! food doesn't really help. 4th day some diarreah. But that's nothing compaired to the dagger like pains!!! thought about going to the hospital...but driving there myself is deffinetly not an option! & who knows if theres anything waiting there other than ER waiting room. however after the first 2 pill dose, my throat was sooo much better the next morning! I could swallow again and didn't even need a shot like in the past. Good LUCK! F 22 5 days

 3  bronchitis explosive diarrhea within 1 hour of first dose, extremely tired Taking anitbiotics is a last resort for me. My cough is only occasional, not different from when I started taking Zpack. Took the antibiotic in attempt to knock the bronchitis out once and for all. No stomach cramps as have been reported, thankfully. Looking up homeopathic treatment for bronchitis now F 34 4 days

 3  Bronchial infection Itchy hives over most of my body, swollen lips & chin Have taken Zithro previously with no side effects and good results. This time, though my symptoms of infection are better, This horrible rash-like condition has made me cease taking the dosage after only taking 3 pills from the Z-pak. Hope to be seen by Dr. tomorrow and that this goes away quickly but am concerned after reading posts from others with similar experiences. Sounds like this can continue for some time. M 42 1 days

 5  Strep Throat No Side Affects...always have loved the z-pack!! My son had it too (he's 17yrs) his Dr gave him amoxicillian..which I think is one of the useless antibiotics on the market today. F 46 5 days

 3  Bronchitis None that I can think of. This is the 2nd time I have gone to the Dr with this case of bronchitis. The first time I was prescribed AMOXI/CLAV, Prednisone, and Atrovent inhaler. Didn't help much. 2nd time, I was prescribed the Zithro-3 pack, AMI-TEX LA, and Serevent Diskus inhaler. This is my 3rd day and the color of the pleghm is clearing up and I think I am getting better. I have been sick with a cold since December and Bronchitis since January. If this finally goes away and doesn't come back, then I will give Zithromax a 5. We shall see. M 3 days

 3  strep throat I have big angry red spots all over my torso and neck - not hives and not an allergic rash exactly (they don't itch), but definitely some kind of reaction. They look like giant chicken pox marks. Started showing up on day 3 of 5 (which I'm on now)and continue to pop up. Started working on my severe sore throat on day 3, brought down my fever, but haven't totally cleared the whole thing up yet. Throat glands still swollen. It's day 5. F 37 5 days
