Zithromax (azithromycin): 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.

azithromycin: I have started this on 11/9/2009 for my sinus infection. Day 4 felt better but still have runny nose and stuffy right ear, ringing in ears. Hope this goes away and I don't have a repeat. 1 more day, I have had nausea but not sick. Not sure if I can take anything to dry up runny nose with this. If I can get rid of runny nose and ear ringing I hope to be okay.

azithromycin: For almost two years I have been suffering from upper respiratory tract infection and sinusitis. I used to sneeze several times followed by running nose whenever I came in touch with the cold air mostly early in the morning or while venturing out. Then I was prescribed azithromycin 500 along with Allegra and after taking one dose I am feeling much better. The important thing to remember is the adherence to precautions as specified for this drug and the complete dosage prescribed by the doctor.

Zithromax (azithromycin): I get sinusitis several times a year. The old-fashioned 5-day Z-packs used to work really well for me. They still do "knock down" the worst of it (I carry a filled prescription from my doctor when I'm traveling on business) ... but in the past several years I've noticed that sometimes the sinusitis will rebound in a couple of weeks and I end up having to take a different type of antibiotic.
Unfortunately, those secondary antibiotics tend to get to me -- queasy stomach, the "taste" of the medicine even hours later. None of that with Zithromax. The only time I had a bad experience with Zithromax side effects was the three-day pack.

azithromycin: If I take this for sinusitis, it doesn't clear it up and in a few days I'm even sicker. I don't like taking Augmentin and Biaxin, but they're the only ones that have worked for me.

Zithromax (azithromycin): 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.

azithromycin: Azithromycin cured some of my symptoms to temporarily improve, but it did not get rid of the sinus infection, which has gotten worse since I took Azithromycin about two months ago.

Zithromax (azithromycin): I have used a Z-Pak several times. I love that it helps clear up whatever bacteria is causing my illness. I don't love each consecutive time that I take it, the side effects are more pronounced.

Zithromax (azithromycin): 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.

Zithromax (azithromycin): After years of suffering a one nostril clog. I was recently prescribed a 5 day 250MG dosage of Zithromax.
I had zero side effects and it although it didn't totally clear my sinus infection it cleared it enough for me to know it was absolutely effective and on the right path.
I can now get lengthy periods of use out of my other nostril and that's better than I've had in 10 years.

Zithromax (azithromycin): 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.

azithromycin: I was givin this med for sinusitis and it did improve that but it caused stomache upset and diarrhea. I would prefer to be treated with something else from now on.
