"I went to the Dr last Tuesday and was given a sinus cocktail injection for my stuffy nose, sneezing , running nose and etc. I haven’t had the cocktail in years but it did nothing for me shocking . My dr then prescribed me Azithromycin 250 mg tablets & I honestly feel worse than I did before I started the medicine. I am two days off the medicine and my nose is stuffy again . I am mad that I took this medicine. This my second time taking this medication and it did nothing this time ."

"I have used the Z pack on and off for years. This time they gave me the generic brand! It always had minimal side effects with the non-generic but with the generic, it was horrible. Stomach pains, nausea but the worst was diarrhea. I would NEVER take this generic brand again."

"Took first two pills for sinus and ear infection that I’ve had for months. Tried holistic stuff, but Only temp relief. I used to use this all the time and never once had reactions. Most generics usually turn to rubbish, this did too. Had instantaneous stomach bloating and indigestion (took with GF cereal) skin red and itchy, and worst of all I’ve suddenly got flu like symptoms. Feel like trash. 99.4 temp but feel like I’m on fire. Just a little advice here at the end for sufferers of chronic sinus infections and the like. Just found out why I’m sick all the time. IGG SUBCLASS DEFICIENCIES. I’m prone to get sinus infections and others. Have Rhumatologist or immunologist check your immune system. Finally found out why I’m so sickly."

"My husband took this for a sinus infection. By day 4 he was experiencing severe anxiety, nightmares and difficulty sleeping due to those issues. He started having panic attacks and was restless. This drug is toxic. Stick to something safer like amoxicillin."

"First time I've been prescribed azithromycin for my sinus infection and it completely sucks for it compared to my typical amoxicillin. Three days in on the zpak and nothing, still have a fever, no change in sinus pressure and now a splitting headache with large amount of gas. At least with amoxicillin by the third day I would feel better, this nothing. I'll continue treatment just to see but highly doubt it."

"I had a pretty severe sinus infection and was prescribed this to help with my symptoms. It definitely did it’s job, but oh my GOD. The worst stomach pain I’ve ever had in my life. I NEVER get side effects from medicine and I have had to take quite a good amount, but wow this was bad. I have no idea why I reacted with this antibiotic, but it was so bad that it would last the entire day any time I ate and I was afraid to eat on it. And I never have stomach issues so this was very hard for me. It does what it needs to, but I won’t lie it was some of the worst pain I’ve ever dealt with."

"Azithromycin is the only antibiotic that works. Having been prescribed clarithromycin and doxycycline to no avail, this was prescribed as I had gotten worse and got an ear infection also, so was so unwell. High temperature and feeling dreadful. I've found Azithromycin to be fantastic."
