| 1 | dental abcess | am only on day 2 of a 7day course and i am dreading the next 5days! Have had horrible stomache cramps and nausea all day and no painkillers are easing it. I suffer from IBS and thought i was having an episode with that but hadnt ate or done anything different,thats when i realised it could be the antibiotics,checked on net and came accross this site. | The abcess started to go pretty much immediately, just dont think the pain and discomfort is worth it! | F | 33 | 2 days 250mg 4X day | 5/26/2010 | 2 | cellulitus | constant feeling sick and occasional sickness,really bad stomach ache,feel really bloated and stomach appears to quite swelled | im still taking erythromycin at the min but will be stopping and going back to G.P for an alternative anti biotic.As i am a single mum of a dissabled child and need to be able to function properly | F | 46 | 2 weeks 500 4X day | 5/22/2010 | 1 | Chest infection | Very Painful Swollen hands, feet knees and ankles, hot sweats and disorientation. Feeling nausia but it is ontl a constant feeling, has been for 3 days now along with just totalbody aches and pains, I was prescribed this for chest infection after giving up smoking. The way I feel it would be better to smoke and take my chances | I have to wait until Saturday for an appointment with doctor and have been told NOT TO STOP TAKING ERYTHROMYCIN. Mine are from Metwest pharmaceuticals so I am wondering if they are one of the cheap clonesfrom India, that we hear in the news causing problems in the UK from time to time as they arent really what they are labelled as! | F | 53 | 4 days 250mg 4X day | 5/20/2010 | 1 | Surgical Wound Infection | Felt a bit sick when i woke up this morning after starting my prescription last night. As today went on i started experiencing extreme stomach cramps. The cramps were intermitant, usually 1 or 2 bouts per minute - along with these cramps came the urge to be sick. The stomach cramps are quite gassy, i can hear my belly making loads of noise. Got hiccups and frequently passing wind. Had diarrhoeah also. Have eased off a bit, but just taken my next dosage so if ths carries on i will have to ask my doc to change me across to something else. | F | 22 | 1 weeks 500MG 4X day | 5/18/2010 | 1 | acne | severe vomitting and stomach pains, reduced to bed for several days, suffered a RARE allergic reaction | it may work for others, but if you experience severe side effects, consult you doctor and change anti biotic | M | 18 | 7 days 500mg 1X day | 5/8/2010 | 3 | perioral dermatitis | Initially took this drug for 4 days at 4 a day as GP prescribed and suffered the worst pain I have ever known in my abdomin. Had extreme hunger, running to loo. Got no sleep for 2 nights and decided would rather have the rash on my face than the side effects. Contacted my GP and he said to take just one a day which I have done for the past 2 days and am getting slight discomfort in abdomin but no running to loo yet. Have to take this for a month so not looking forward to it. | F | 54 | 6 days 500mg 1X day | 5/7/2010 | 2 | Ear infection | extremely painful stomach aches that last hours on end. And extreme diet needs. One second im starving and another im feel full and vomiting, even though i eat no additional food or drink. | M | 16 | 2 days 500 4X day | 5/7/2010 | 1 | pertussis exposure prophylactic | SEVERE stomach pain, cramping, nausea, vomiting, diarrea. | I am a nurse and pregnant, and exposed to pertussis at work, prescribed this med prophylactically. I only took 3 doses, after all three I had severe pain, nausea, and then uncontrolled vomiting. I can't function and take this med. It should be used to induce illnesses, not treat them. I did call my doctor and they will see if they can prescribe me something else. | F | 36 | 14 days 500 4X day | 5/7/2010 | 1 | tooth abcess | nausea, extreme tiredness, hunger but too sick to eat | As soon as I take the pill I feel sick to my stomach, and im so tired all the time. I thought it was just from the tooth infection. I told my husband that I didnt know what was wrong with me that I felt the same way I did when I was receiving chemo for ovarian cancer a few years ago. Just constant exhaustion, constant nausea, a metallic taste in my mouth. Like I said I compare the side effects of this medication to the chemo I received. Horrible | F | 42 | 3 days 500 4X day | 5/6/2010 | 1 | chest infection | severe nausea, stomach cramps, feeling as being 'elsewhere', extreme lethargy, sensitive ears, generally low and crap | another person allergic to penicillin, only started taking tablets yesterday, just got off phone to gp who said to stop taking them immediately. He said he will give me something else. Due to fly to america on saturday, hope the side effects are gone, would prefer to have managed with my bad chest rather than to feel these side effects again. I will NEVER take this again. | F | 38 | 1.5 days 500mg 4X day | 5/6/2010 | 5 | acne | none whatsoever | clears skin whilst on them. if you miss it for as much as a week you will regret it as all the acne will return, maybe even worse! but i am shocked at the other reviews as i had no side effects at all. | M | 19 | 1 years 250 2X day | 5/5/2010 | 4 | Folliculitis | Extreme stomach cramping for hours, intense hunger (had to eat everything and anything), gas, bloating, heart burn, pain below the ribs, woke up in the middle of the night in pain, nausea, | Side effects lasted the first five days on the medicine and then I guess my body just got used to it because for the next two days I did not have any side effects. It seems to have gotten rid of my infection, too. I'm not sure I'd want to try this again, the first 5 days were extremely horrible. I couldn't leave the house (due to having to "go" all the time) and was too sick to do simple functions!! | F | 27 | 7 days 500 4X day | 5/4/2010 | 1 | acne | vomiting, shortness of breath, difficulty breathing | i took one 500mg at lunch and shortly after continued feeling very hungry but thought nothing of it. took another with dinner later and found i could not eat much at all and felt extremely full. around half an hour later i was throwing up and later throwing up bile. i found it hard to breathe and was worried i was having a panic attack. i felt better once it was all out of my system but at the time felt completely awful. do not take this drug! | F | 16 | 1 days 500 mg 2X day | 5/1/2010 | 1 | infection / virus | im into the course far a day and a half already im being sick frequently, recieving really bad stumach cramps , diahorrea, horrid smelling farts and poos and loss of appletight even though im hungry but i cant eat | i will never this drug again... it ruined my night out with my tonight and the side effects are horrid | M | 18 | 7 days 250 4X day | 5/1/2010 | 1 | Sinusitis | Having taken the drug for 13 days I developed severe stomach and kidney cramps, high temperature, nausea and light-headiness and urine bright orange. I was admitted to hospital and they discovered my liver was swollen and I was jaundice. It has taken seven painful days to recover from the antibiotic. The original sinusitis still persists. | M | 55 | 14 days 300 3X day | 4/30/2010 | 1 | Bronchial Pneumonia | Stomache Cramps, Stomache Pain, Hunger Pains, Nausea, Light Headed | After 6 x tablets all up I started to get tummy cramps and pain. My last table was at 6am this morning, but the nausea and pain lasted all day, tummy still sore now. Constant hunger but got too scared to eat in the end. Chest feels much better, but the Erythromicin actually made me feel worse than the illness it is supposed to be treating. Went back to the GP - told me to stop taking this drug and go to bed for 3 days. | F | 35 | 2.5 days 250 4X day | 4/28/2010 | 2 | abcess on leg | severe stomach cramps including horrendous rumbling, constant diahorrea, feeling sick but not actually being sick, very tired feeling, heart flutters, and hungry all the time | i think I'm going to have to stop taking this medication and call my Dr on Monday morning for something else, i feel worse now that when i was prescribed this medication, My Abcess has gone down slightly tho but its not worth feeling like this | F | 43 | 3 days 500 4X day | 4/25/2010 | 3 | chest infection | nausea,diarrhoea, indegestion and headache | certainly sorted my chest infection but the headaches im having are constant and the pain is so severe im going to have to speak to my doc - absolutely splitting head pain on waking, took lots of pain relief yesterday and again awoke with it this morning | F | 41 | 3 days 250 4X day | 4/20/2010 | 2 | tonsullitis | F | 21 | 500mg x2 1X day | 4/19/2010 Patient History | 1 | Throat infection | First day extreme pain in right hip, very stiff right leg made it difficult to walk, large red sore swollen skin on bottom of right foot. Subsequent days large skin hives torso even though I stopped the course within two days. | This drug ruined my quality of life for about 2 months due to the resulting skin hives. The only way I could remove them was by doing a Dr. Hulda Clark liver flush out of pure desperation! The hives disappeared over night. I assume that this drug is extremely toxic to the body - it is best avoided! | M | 47 | 7 days 250mg 8X day | 4/17/2010 |
