"I have been taking Azith for 11 months now, with Ethambutol. I recently had my hearing tested and it is perfect for someone my age. GI is all good - I use a probiotic after breakfast and lunch and take these meds before sleep with a small amount of water. Grateful that my strain of MAC is still sensitive to it."

Zithromax (azithromycin) "I have been taking this on a weekly basis for the past 8 months but I noticed that in the last three weeks it's been giving me diarrhea the moment I take it. It just goes right through me. This medication is effective, but you have to make sure your body can handle it. I did, for a while, until recently."

"It may resolve the bacterial infection but the side affects are terrible. The worst being tingling crawling skin, aching joints, motor loss balance, loss of feeling in feet legs buttocks and gential area. The pain is terrible and nothing has yet to stop it! If I had known all this could happen . I would not have taken any of it!"

Zithromax (azithromycin) "I have been taking azithromycin for 3 weeks and take it 3 times per week. My doctor recommended that I take it with yogurt. The yogurt helps coats my stomach to keep it from getting upset. So far, it has worked. I also make sure that I drink lots of water when taking this medication and rinse my mouth well. Hopefully, rinsing will keep me from getting mouth sores."
