Biaxin XL (clarithromycin): Being asthmatic, I often suffer bronchial infections. I had borderline pneumonia a few months ago - a one week course of Biaxin XL cleared it up. I am now taking Biaxin XL again because I have bronchitis and after two days am breathing much better - it is also clearing up my ear infection. Only downside to this medication is the metallic taste in the mouth and some wild dreams. I recommend drinking plenty of water to keep you hydrated while on Biaxin XL.

Biaxin (clarithromycin): Hard for treating my 20mos old daughter as the granules are gritty and the whole suspension isn't very exciting to taste. It works, but make sure your baby does not spit up medicine or get something else if they do.

Biaxin XL (clarithromycin): I have taken this medication many times before. I have asthma so I am prone to infections in my lungs. I get prescribed this medication often and it clears it up in the 7 days. The only side effects I get is the metallic taste, I just take it a night to avoid it.

Biaxin (clarithromycin): Was one of the only medicines that worked for my pneumonia. It was administered via IV for 3 weeks 2x a day but it worked.
