1 | ear infection | DIARREHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! | The worst diarreha I ever had. Can't digest anything 3 days after stopped taking Z-Pack 4 of 6 pills. I had partial loss of hearing and ear pain/fever from the ear infection, this is worse. I have lost 11 pounds and counting in 4 days. | M | 47 | 3 days | 3/19/2006 | 1 | toothache | Severe stomach cramps, nausea, feeling faint, tiredness | Did start to sort out my original complaint but had to stop taking it due to the severity of the stomach cramps | F | 22 | 2 days | 3/2/2006 | 4 | Acne | Bloated stomach | Such a big gut :-( | M | 21 | 2 months | 3/1/2006 | 5 | Skin infections | Some stomach cramping and a little diarrhea, not enough to bother me too much. Has been wonderful for losing weight! | This drug has been heaven-sent for me. It's cleared up my infection and I was able to tolerate it well. I took a penicillin based drug before and found out I was very allergic to it - oops. The Erythromycin has been wonderful. Everybody's system is different. I guess I got lucky. | F | 43 | 3 weeks | 2/15/2006 | 2 | tonsilitus | Cannot swallow in pain hot sweats, have not slept for days ears hurt | Normally when I have tonsilitus penicillion clears it up quick but these are awful not touched infection at all. | F | 29 | 1 weeks | 2/3/2006 | 2 | Bronchial infection | As many others vividly described, severe abdominal pain and cramping, along with fever. Kept me up for hours at night. Haven't experienced anything like this since I had gall stones. I have never previously had a drug reaction, so it is definitely the erthromycin. | I was relatively well until taking this. I would never recommend this unless it was a last resort in a life threatening illness. Physicians are irresponsible in prescribing this without warning and monitoring about severe side effects. | M | 55 | 4 days | 1/21/2006 | 1 | respitory infection | extremely weak,muscle weakness,explosive diarreha,major gas,swollen throat/neck | this antibiotic totally sucked!I rather have the infection then go through the hellish side effects!If you have panic/anxiety...do noy use this...it will make your attacks intensify! | F | 41 | | 1/16/2006 | 3 | Acne | Been taking them for only a couple of days when i experienced stomoch cramps, overwhelming nausea and sickness, fatigue and slight dizziness. | I didnt understand what was wrong as i was told by my docter there were no side effects! Ive stopped taken them until i speak with my doc. I Cant comment if they were effective however, as i stopped taking them after 3 days. | F | 21 | 3 days | 1/7/2006 | 5 | strep throat | digetive pain and problems (sometimes severe) | at least it cured the infection. daily acidophilis or yogurt helps the side effects. azithromycin could be a better choice | M | 55 | 10 days | 12/30/2005 | 4 | Sore Throat | Abdominal pain, bloating, headaches | Took E'Mycin 250 mg every 6 hrs. Experienced some abdominal pain on first day. Abdominal dicomfort best avoided if tablet taken immediately after a GOOD sized meal. A fruit or a light snack may not be enough. | M | 41 | 5 days | 12/24/2005 | 1 | Acne | Stomach pains, bloating, excess gas. Couldn't eat for the past 3 days. Had no idea the pills could caused this until I read other people's comments because I'd taken a course for 10 months last year with no problems. Only taking 250 mg twice a day, so I'm baffled as to what the problem is this time. | The Erythromycin didn't work this time either for my acne, so I'm stopping and going to get something else from my doc. | F | 29 | 10 days | 11/25/2005 | 1 | Wisdom Tooth Pulled | Nausea, Bile-taste in mouth, stomach cramps, severe gas, crushing feeling on bottom lungs. | The dosage is 4x a day 500mg pills. I have only taken it 3x a day for the past day. Thank God. This stuff would kill me otherwise. I am allergic to penicillin, I would take the anapaleptic shock over this horrible crap. Will NOT be finishes the dosage. | M | 19 | 2 days | 11/23/2005 | 2 | Tonsillitis | bloated stomach | took the 250 tablets x2 4 times a day, bloated stomach came after second dose. If you have a mild problem best let your own body deal with it if you get this, if its a bad problem, you will have to grin and bear it. As it happens i stopped taking them. | M | 22 | 2 days | 11/10/2005 | 3 | Sinusitis | Loose stools, tiredness. | I have had no stomach cramps or pain and no problem sleeping. In fact, all I want to do is sleep but that could be an effect of the infection itself. My symptoms haven't yet altered and I am into my 4th day of a 7 day course. | F | 40 | 4 days | 11/4/2005 | 2 | Cold/Flu Symptons | dizziness, Nausea, stiff neck, severe stomach upset. | Feel worse after taking Erythromycin. | F | 32 | 7 days | 10/28/2005 | 2 | tooth extraction | was given to prevent infection after wisdom tooth removal, severe stomach ache and cramps, loss of appetite, nausia, unable to sleep I honestly think a infection would be the more pleasent. hit after 24hrs after use.Will finish course but WILL NEVER TAKE AGAIN on a positive note it took my mind of my mouth [joy] | This looks like a very common side effect | M | 28 | 3 days | 10/16/2005 | 1 | DENTAL INFECION | I AN ELLEGIC TO PENICILLING BAD STOMACH PAINS FEEL VERY UNWELL 250MG 4 TIMES A DAY WAS TAKEING WITH ANADIN CUZ STILL IN PAIN WITH TOOTH STILL TAKEING PAIN KILLERS AND ERYTHROMYCIN UNTILL INFECION GOS NEED TOOTH OUT I THINK WILL BE SEEING DOC SOON FOR OTHER TABS CANT GO ON LIKE THIS | NO GOOD | F | 29 | 3 days | 10/15/2005 | 1 | Ear Infection | Severe stomach cramps, followed by diaherria and nausea. Sleeping was so hard but then again with your stomach in knots and u curled up in a ball sleeping wont come naturally no matter how tired you are. I actually did throw up and am not feeling hungry at all, I cant exactly think about food when am in so much pain. My last dose was last night and I havent taken anything since but my stomach is still in knots arghh! | definately dont recommend this to anyone. I still havent been able to eat anything, too afraid I might throw up again and the hunger pains are yet to hit me after 2 days, so very weak :-(, managing to hold down juice. GP prescribed this as am allergic to penicillin, wel am going back to see him ASAP. I so would rather have a throbbing ear ache any day. | F | 28 | 2 days | 10/10/2005 | 1 | bacterial skin infection | major abdominal cramps and nausea, extreme gaseous bloating aggressive 500 mg 4x daily. | I felt like my stomach was wrapped in "barbed wire"...this feeling is more debilitating than the condition. I'll have to seek alt' treatment | F | 35 | 1 days | 9/9/2005 | 2 | Chest/Throat Infection | 1 day after felt sick all day. next day suffered bad stomach pains and diarrhoea. taking 2X500mg 4 times aday | Still have upset stomach, loose bowels and general stomach discomfort after 6 weeks. now have started to develop a trembling sensation in my back/arms. | M | 28 | 7 days | 8/31/2005 |
