I am allergic to amoxicillin and sulfa drugs. Zpac is a lifesaver for me and it works so quickly. I always feel better after the first day of taking it. I have had no side effects.

DO YOUR HOMEWORK ON THIS DRUG!! Yes it is a common antibiotic, but if you are like me, you should not take it. I have an allergy to amoxil and any others in its family. I took this drug for a simple sore throat, I was on day 4 of it and thought it was time I saw a doctor. They tested me for Strep and it came back negative, but they gave me an antibiotic anyway. Within 30 mins of taking the firs...

The doctor had told me that I might feel worse, before I got better. Shortly after taking the first dose I got a terrible stomache ache and started vomiting. I started losing a lot of weight. My doctor discovered that it was upsetting the lining of my stomach! Even after switching medicines it took me a long time to start gaining the weight back.

Pills upset my stomach terribly. It has been days since finishing and there is still discomfort. It did stop the sinus infection which was my major problem.

I suffer from irritable bowel syndrome. This anitbiotic, like others, has causerd stomach cramping and diarhea. I do like the fact that you only take it once a day for 5 days. The pills are small and easy to swallow.

I have had no upset stomach with the Z-Pak. It is a great medicine and I have used it many times for my different bouts of Bronchitis and other infections. It is easy to take because the pills are small and easy to sallow. Ask your Doctor if Z-Pak is right for you because it does work great. It is only 5 days of your life on medication and it says it last for up to 10 days. This is day number 2 for me this go around.
