User Reviews for Azithromycin

I gave this to my 9month old son for sinus infection. He was awake for 10 solid hours after the 1st dose and 12 hours from the second. The poor thing was miserable- he was exhausted, but couldn't stop bouncing and jumping around. The dr. insists it's not from the medicine, but when I stopped it, he was able to sleep again. I will NEVER allow them to give this to him again.

I experienced all three side effects that were listed on the pill pack. The nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea all came on day 3. It did however rid my body of my infection, so I am pleased since amoxcillin was not doing the trick at all for me. Overall, I would take it again and just be prepared for the unrelenting nausea.

I had to eat when I took this or I had an upset stomach. It overall worked well however, I was also taking Robitussin A-C with codine.

It really worked better than I thought it would. And I also liked the fact of only having to take 5 doses.

I am on day 3 (but don't take the pill untill this evening)and the stomach pains are starting to get worse, not painful, but just enough to annoy you, almost like a constipation or gas pain. Yesterday I felt like I had a lot more energy, but I am feeling rather sluggish again today. I took this same medication for the same thing last year, but don't really remember having any side effects. It has cleared up most of my symptoms rather quickly though. I also went to the bathroom this morning and my urine was much more yellow than normal, which is weird because i have been drinking a lot of ater lately, has any one else experienced this, or is it just something with anti-biotics? I am also feeling a little nervous and jittery today.Read More Read Less

I took the first three days worth of doses after having a tooth pulled. Today is day 4 and I am uncontrollably nervous and anxious. The dentist told me to stop taking it and my husband doesn't think there's anything wrong with me. Lots of help from all sides. These are listed as rare side effects, but I can tell you they are extremely disconcerting and I will not use this medication again.

Rapid onset of Deep cough with flu like symptoms. 1500 mg per day for 5 days completely knocked out the symptoms

Took it for a sinus infection. It made me sicker than sick, nausea was horrible. I have one more day & I am thinking of skipping it. I smell it on my skin, taste it, horrible!

I gave this medication to my 3 year old daughter for bronchitis and it did help with cough but along with it came vomiting at least 3 times a day. I won't ever give her this again.

The Dr. prescibed this drug for a rattling in one lung accompanied by cold.

I feel better after reading the reviews here since my cough is better since I've taken it. BUT I have all these new symptoms like total exhaustion and major stomach upset. I've had to take Immodium since I could keep nothing down. I am also sluggish and tired. Otherwise, life is good.

My doctor put me on this medication 5 days ago for an bacterial infection that had me coughing serverly along with a high fever and sinus congestion. I statred feeling better after the 3rd day of taking this medication, The 4th day I continued to improve but a mild itching started. It is now the 6th day i took my last dose yesterday and my itching is alot worse and I also have what appears to be hives or rash on my legs arms and face. Hopefully this will subside once the meds have gone their course. Read More Read Less

I had taken this medicine previously for a lung infection with no problems. This time I took it for an abscessed tooth. Within a few hours, I had extreme diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and cold sweats..felt I was going to die..as if I had a very, very bad case of the flu. I am also allergic to penicillin. I did not take another dose of the Azithromycin. Original dose was 250 mg.

I was prescribed this medication for treatment of a sinus infection which is not listed? It cleared my sinus infection but I did have terrible stomach cramps the third day. Overall I am satisfied with this medication.

Helped clear up my tonsilitis in a relatively short amount of time. I had a small side affect of diarhea but nothing more than that.

I have really bad asthma. My doctor prescribed this because she said I might have a touch of bronchitis. After taking it, I went to sleep. Woke up, was fine, but I kept burping and getting a horrible taste in my mouth. Around six hours after taking the medication, I experienced pain in my abdomen and stomach, (this was around eleven at night) and with much difficulty, went to sleep. Four the next morning, I woke up projectile vomiting. Vomiting is listed as a side effect, and I'm breathing better, but I'm scared to go anywhere near the medication for my next dose after that.Read More Read Less

Gave to my 2 year old for ear infection. Worked fine, can't comment about the side effects, however.

Took the 250 mg. X 5 days. This is day three and my throat is so swollen will have to go to ER.My Strep is worse now than before I started this drug.
