User Reviews for Azithromycin

Very rapid results within 16 hours of starting the drug, but still had mild sore throat by day 3. Augmentin or amoxicillin should probably be the first choice unless you have a penicillin allergy which I don't, just prefer the 5 day once a day course.

Even though it took my horrible cough away immediately, a day of taking my last dose (3day pack) I started feeling anxiety and lungs not catching full breath. Not feeling 100% better mocus still there but did control the nasty cough!!

I experienced pretty bad stomach pains with the first dose, but I can't complain. This nasty thing I've had for almost a month is 40% better and it's only the first night...I have high hopes.

Started taking this when I had sinus infection. Within 4 hours after first dose, left side of face started to swell severely. Found out I was allergic to this.

Had a cough for over 3 weeks when I started this antibiotic and found out I also had an ear infection. First night terrible upset stomach/pains. Second night experienced diarrhea. Thought about stopping the drug but of course the last three nights, no side effects and felt 110% BETTER.

Felt great hadache from Severe Sinusitis went away after second day. But headache returned one day after final dosage and now have congestion and post nasal drip.

I felt a considerable inmprovement almost immediately after taking it. But I've been very tired lately. Almost fell asleep in cube. I suppose it's one of the less severe side effects.

after the 2nd dose, soreness of throat was gone. when taking the med, i expierenced nausia and extreme tiredness.

7 hours after taking first dose, severe itchng & rash which awakened me at 2a & continued until I took 2 atarax at 5a; was finally able to sleep again by 6a -- no more horrible, burning facial (sinus) pain but no sleep either. Am changing to Cipro.

Had some stomach cramping with nausea. Only on day one. Hoping that it will go away soon. Sort of uncomfortable.

This was the only medicine which consistently cured the lung infection I get every 3-6 years.

I had the worst side effects from this medication. My stomach was cramping the whole time I was on it, even hours after I took the pill. I had severe nausea. In fact, I was up on day 4 vomitting all day. It intensifies the affects of alcohol too.

My 16 month old son who is allerigic to amoxacillion was put on this instead. On the third day of taking it i noticed the small red bumps on his body that i noticed with the amoxacillion as well as diarrhea and his walk was even more wobbly than a usual 16 month old. He actually had trouble standing up at all after a long period of sitting.

I am on my last day of taking this and my dosage was 500 MG. The side effects I had were stomach cramps, slight diarrhea and a severe rash/hives all over body. I started to feel slightly better but then it seemed like I got worse than I had before I started taking this. I actually felt worse on my 5th day of taking this. I STILL have all the symptoms I had before I started to take this. I was told that this was safe to take while pregnant or nursing (which I am doing). I question that as the baby also had diarrhea (and rash) on the 5th and 6th day of me taking this. I was told to stop taking immediately when I called up the doctor. Read More Read Less

No stomach upset. Taking day 4 of 5. Feeling better.

I had a severe allergic reaction to this drug. I broke out in severe rash on my face, neck, chest, and back. I also lost my hearing for many days. I am allergic to Penicillian so my doctor prescribed this instead. I found out that my boyfriend is also allergic to Penicillian and also this medication as well. BE CAREFUL IF YOU ARE ALLERGIC TO OTHER MEDICATIONS!!!
