User Reviews for Azithromycin

Zithromax (azithromycin): This medicine clears up bronchitis quickly and I give it two thumbs up.

Zithromax (azithromycin): The Z-Pak took away all of my symptoms. It feels great not to have to cough all the time now.

Zithromax (azithromycin): Gets rid of it quickly, but it can cause stomach cramps.

azithromycin: What a product, very effective

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.

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.

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.

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 7 year old daughter was prescribed this for bronchitis and within about 18 hours her coughing was reduced by at least 80%.

azithromycin: 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.

Zithromax (azithromycin): While taking this medication I developed severe diarrhea. Stopped medication and it went away.

azithromycin: It did not work. Had to go on to another drug.

Azithromycin Dose Pack (azithromycin): It is so good for children. It helped my daughter in 3 days.

Zithromax (azithromycin): My bronchitis was so severe that the only way I would be able to board my flight to South America in 3 days was with the z-pack. I took 2 pills right at the doctor's office and headed back to the office. I was in complete disbelief when within 3 hours of taking the first 2 pills my overall condition had improved tremendously. I am glad that I didn't experience any adverse symptoms while on it, but I know of some people that unfortunately are not able to take this medication.

Zithromax (azithromycin): I was given 2 tablets the first day followed by 1 tablet for the next four days. I was coughing so hard I could not get out of bed. The only thing it did for me, now on day 10, is it eased up the cough so that I did not lose my breath and vomit phlegm but I just called the doctor again today because I am still coughing up very thick Phlegm. It helped but it did not work that great at all. Now the Doctor is calling in Tessalon pearls. We will see if that works.

azithromycin: My wife came down with a bad case of bronchitis New Years Eve day. I took her to urgent care that evening. She did not drink that night and started taking the azithromycin the following morning. 2 hours later she got bad stomach cramps along with vomiting and diarrhea. We stopped the medication. We think it may have had something to do with her long time health condition of diverticulitis. This might be something you may want to mention if you have this condition before taking it.

azithromycin: I was prescribed the Z-pack (5 day) and I'm on my third day. I still have that rattle in my chest and unable to sleep at night. May have to change since this seems to not be working for me. This is unusual because it worked wonders in the past.

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.

azithromycin: To anyone with adverse reactions to the drug, please call your doctor before you stop taking the drug. For many reason, you could possibly do more harm than good by quitting. Of course, if symptoms are bad enough do not take it, but contact your doctor immediately.

azithromycin: After the first dose of 2 pills at 250 mg about 5 hours later I started having terrible stomach pains and considered stopping the medication. This is my 3rd day on the 5 day Z pack and I feel a lot better. Hoping I will not have anymore side effects, but so far so good.

Zithromax (azithromycin): I took a full course of the 250mg 5 day pack with no ill effects except for a metallic taste in my mouth but then the bronchitis came back, so was prescribed the 500mg 3 day course. On day two, I got severe stomach cramps, diarrhea, and vomiting. I am not going to take the final dose, because although the bronchitis is better, I can't deal with the intense stomach discomfort.

azithromycin: I was originally given ciprofloxacin for acute bronchitis but started having lower back pain and quit taking it. Went to another Urgent care and was prescribed the 5 day Z-pack and diagnosed with Bronchitis and nasal infection. Was also prescribed Prednisone 10mg and an Albuteral inhaler. It's been 4 days and only a slight improvement I have noticed mild diarrhea. I haven't taken the other prescriptions yet.

azithromycin: I've been taking the 5 day pk for 4 days for bronchitis and do not feel any better. Stomach cramps and diarrhea developed.

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.

azithromycin: Unfortunately for me Azithromycin caused hives on day 3 of a 5 day pack. I was starting to feel a tad bit better, but had to stop taking due to hives. After which I had 2 more weeks of coughing due to bronchitis and had to use Ceftin for 10 days 2 times a day at 500mg.
