User Reviews for Clarithromycin ER oral

The worst thing about this medicine is the nausea that it caused immediately. If I continued to put food in my stomach it seemed to help. The metal taste came about the third day. Still having some coughing after completing the cycle of medication.

(taking for strep / respiratory infection)- my condition has improved for the reasons I started the drug, but the last two nights have been terrible with a really nasty taste in my mouth. I never reviewed a drug before, but I had to check this out. I'm finding a lot of people have this problem. nothing takes the taste away- I've tried everything. I've been on it for two days and hope it doesn't get any worse because it keeps me up at night - so gross.

Horrible, nasty taste in mouth approx. 3 hours after taking, lasts at least 6 hours. Would rather have the Respiratory issue!Can't even get rid of it, with mouthwash, cough drops, salt water, or anything. YUK!

Was woke up with fire in lungs felt like had 2 Burning spots in lungs ,

Leaves a horrible taste in your mouth that won't go away. I am on day 3 of 10. I now have a stomach ache and diarrea.

had all of the top five reactions, i have put it down as med not to take,+ blood upon defecation.

I had a tic bite infection and took this medication. It seems to work but the side effects were uncomfortable, such as stomach ache and the feeling of vomiting at any moment.

Usually I do not recieve any side affects from any medication that I take but, every acute sideaffect I have. I taste of the pill will not leave my mouth, which in turn makes we vomit. Also the drug seems to be not curing my double ear infection.

I have already tried amoxicillin and antihistamines. This antibiotic seems to be working and clearing up the blood and pain. I am delighted.

after taking the first dose of this medication, I experienced a terrible taste in my mouth. Nothing would take the taste away. It actually kept me awake at night.

im taking clarithromycin for almost one week and till this moment my menstrual cycle did not come does taking clarithromycin affect my menstruation?

Taken for chronic sinusitus, with a loss of sense of smell and taste. Didn't experience the bad taste, but more of a severe burning in the mouth, and especially the tongue. Helped condition somewhat.

The side effects of this medicine are horrific. The bad taste in the mouth is just awful. Nothing I have tried can remove it. Mood swings are almost violent. It's also affecting my ability to think and reason. Lastly, it makes you tired, but doesn't let you sleep. The only positive thing I can say is that within a day, I have started feeling better. With so many other effective forms of penicilian available, this one is simply not necessary.

It left a horrible taste in my mouth that would wake me up during the night several times. Would request a different drug if my doctor prescribes this one again.

I suspect I have strep throat, over a holiday weekend. Day two opn medication, twice daily. Still running a fever and still very painful to swallow. Earache also. Why would the doc on call presrcibe this?

Normally I have a high tolerance for medicine but this...no. The bad taste in the mouth is sulfer. Yep the same thing that will cause you to be sick if you breath is in this antibiotic that treats your infection. Ironic

recently received an injection of this drug and i am experiencing severe foot and leg cramping, what could be the cause of these?

I'm on day 7 of my 10 day program and the metal taste is absolutely nasty. It's not coming up from the stomach, it's right in your saliva. euuuuu. I don't feel anywhere near cured yet. I still have a deep fog horn cough. I was hoping for better results from this medication

I agree about the taste issue. I am taking it for pneumonia (I guessed which kind as the dr. did not specify). Interestingly, the pill has a minty coating which may be to mask the horrid taste. I noticed it within hours after the first dose. If you only have to take this drug once daily, I recommend taking it with your last meal or snack before bed. I noticed when I did this, the taste was gone by noon the following day.
