Zithromax (azithromycin) for Otitis Media: Had strep throat and double ear infection including one ruptured ear drum. Was so sick, but after 24 hours on Z-Pak, major turn-around with 80% recovery within 48 hours. Much faster and more effective than Amoxicillin or similar.

Zithromax (azithromycin) for Upper Respiratory Tract Infection: I've used the Zithromax Z-Pack several times over the years and have found it to be the ONLY pharmaceutical that actual works QUICKLY and the problem doesn't return upon finishing up the prescription. I'm prone to a once a year, or once every two year throat infection. Extremely sore, dry yet phlegmy throat without any other signs of a cold. No cough, runny nose, sneezing nor fever. By the second day of taking this pack, my symptoms have already begun to subside. A very effective drug, indeed.

Zithromax (azithromycin) for Sinusitis: After I take the first dose (2 pills) within 8 to 10 hours I feel 50% better. It usually does not take more then 4 days to be well. This is a great medication for sinusitis.

Zithromax (azithromycin) for Bronchitis: For about 10 days now, I had a VERY bad cough, and severe congestion in my lungs (coughed SO much till I thought I were going to actually break a rib )...went to my local emergency room, where the attending doctor sent me home with a 'Z Pack' (5 day regimen of the Zithromax, PLUS a bottle of GUAIFENSIN cough syrup). I'm now on my third day of these antibiotics and am not, thankfully, coughing as much as I did.

Zithromax (azithromycin) for Bronchitis: I'm on the 3rd day of the 5-day treatment (2 pills on day 1 and 1 pill each of the next 4 days) and have had no bad side effects when taking this medication. My bronchitis finally seems to be clearing up and I'm pleased with this medication.

azithromycin for Bronchitis: Every year around October, I develop a severe case of bronchitis and coughing so bad that it racks every bone in my body. As soon as it starts, my MD prescribes the Z-Pack (this time the 3-pack of 500mg) and by the third day I feel almost better, lungs are clearer and coughing subsides. I have never had any side effects or drug interactions with this medication. It is the best I have ever used for bronchitis.

Zithromax (azithromycin) for Bronchitis: I have found that when I get bronchitis Z-pak is the only thing that helps knock it out of me. Within a few days I feel much better.

Zithromax (azithromycin) for Sinusitis: I was prescribed Zithromax for an upper respiratory infection and I did not have such a good experience. The first day I had really bad diarrhea. I couldn't even leave the house. The 2nd day I was overwhelmed with nausea. I took the pill with food and still felt sick to my stomach the entire day and night. Today I have decided the terrible side effects are not worth it, and I'm not going to take the rest of my prescription.

Zithromax (azithromycin) for Sinusitis: I personally believe The Z-Pak should be the #1 Drug Prescribed on the Market if you need to maintain your Health FAST & be yourself again. I seem to be prone to Strep Throat, Severe Sinustitis & Resp. Infections in the Fall & Winter. A couple of years ago I was 'Due to have Surgery in 6 Days' and was told "if I was sick I would have to Postpone it". Well after waiting a month for this Surgery, planning a Home & Dog Sitter & Time off from work 'working it in with everyone else's Schedules, to me it was Imperative I be well enough 4 all to go as planned'. "5 day Z-Pac was prescribed". It is a no nonsense drug and I can not think of a single side effect. I was well enough for surgery to go on as planned.

Zithromax (azithromycin) for Sinusitis: I started the pack on Sunday and experienced diarrhea and mild itchiness. I'm on my last day and I'm feeling really good. This medicine seemed to work very well. I was hesitant at first, but it seems to clear things up very well.

azithromycin for Bronchitis: In the last year I have had bad coughing episodes on two separate occasions. One in February and one now in October. In both instances, the doctor prescribed a 5-day supply of Z-pack and in both cases I had to try to get a second 5-day supply because the first didn't work. Now I have been through two 5-day supplies and still have a bad cough. I have always had bronchitis problems but it would be a once-a-year event and once I went to the doctor, he would prescribed something and then I'll be better in a couple of days. I have moved and now I go to a different doctor who seems to be in love with Z-pack. My first experience with it was after I moved here. It doesn't work for me.

Azithromycin Dose Pack (azithromycin) for Tonsillitis/Pharyngitis: Amazing results from a Z-Pak! I had strep throat, and love the convenience of a 5 day run of antibiotics. I had no apparent side effects from the medication.
