Zithromax (azithromycin): 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.

Zithromax (azithromycin): 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.

azithromycin: 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.

azithromycin: I had a 3-day course of Azithromycin (Z-Pack) to stop a case of Bronchitis, and it worked. Unfortunately, the bacteria (I think) got into my inner ear. Now I am starting a 5-day course (at my request) for the earache. If these drugs don't work it's often not the fault of the drug itself, but of the misuse by previous patients and/or doctors, leading to drug-resistant bacterium. Note: I resist taking drugs until my immune system seems not to be working.

Zithromax (azithromycin): 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.

azithromycin: My 90-year-old mother was given the 6 tablet blister card/pack, and she took the first dose (2-250 mgs) as per her physician ordered at 3:30 p.m. Within 4 hours she developed abdominal pain, overnight she was not able to urinate and that continued until 10:30 a.m. the next day. We ended in the emergency room by 2:30 p.m. Subsequently, my mother had the worst case of diarrhea that I have ever seen, which was also caused by the antibiotic Levaquin. I have now added both of these drugs to her allergic list.
