Biaxin (clarithromycin): Went to Doctor's with very bad sore throat and cough. Was given Biaxin and it took two days for my throat to clear up but my throat was very bad. It seems to be working. I was given a cough medicine too, could not tell which one was making me tired.

Biaxin (clarithromycin): Med Fast diagnosed me with just flu symptoms and was send home with just an Albuterol prescription. My Primary Care Doctor called me same day and from hearing my voice and telling him my symptoms, my Doctor immediately prescribed me Biaxin 500MG 1 pill 2 x a day for 7 days. Within hours, fever and aches went away and I remain this way. Obviously, bacterial infection somewhere. Biaxin is a wonderful medicine.

clarithromycin: I've been on this antibiotic for 3-days now and no real difference. I'll wait a couple more days. I went to the doctor due to difficulty breathing. He prescribed Clarithromycin and Methylprednisone. I did read the packages, did the research and found that YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO TAKE a Macrolide antibiotic with Methylprednisone. I had him change my antibiotic. Be careful. Do your own research.

clarithromycin: The physician's diagnosis was bronchitis and her instruction was "Two tablets daily while eating for 10 days" Biaxin XL 500 MG TAB". The pharmacist told me, after calling the physician, that I was to take two tablets together each day during a meal. She emphasized that they were not to be taken twice daily, but two tabs together once daily. I have done so for the past seven days. My cough symptoms have mostly disappeared. No fever ever.
Adverse effects are:
1. Extreme bitter taste in mouth 24 hours a day.
2. I have sex every 3-4 days. Since starting BIAXIN, I cannot achieve orgasm.
3. Diarrhea days 2-4
4. My wife says I feel hot all the time, and yet I do not seem hot to myself.

Biaxin XL (clarithromycin): I took Biaxin as soon as I got home from the Doctor. I woke up the next morning feeling amazing, not totally cured but a great start after one day!

Biaxin (clarithromycin): My doctor gave this to me for my brochitis, it seems to be working fairly well. The only thing is it seems to be making me really sleeping. I have done extensive research on this drug and can't find this as a possible side effect.
