User Reviews for Azithromycin

Zithromax (azithromycin) for Skin or Soft Tissue Infection: "I took 1 pill and about 6 hours later, I was getting out of my car and woke up on the sidewalk. I had passed out with no warning signs or symptoms. I passed out again within 2 minutes of the first time. I went to the local Urgent Care and after speaking to the doctor, he believes it was a side effect of the zpak. That is the only change in any food, drink or medication for weeks. I was not overheated and I was hydrated prior to passing out."

For Bronchitis: "My OB/GYN (I'm pregnant) prescribed zpack at the beginning of my cold and cough but I was trying to avoid antibiotics even though this one is safe for pregnancy. I went to ER because I couldn't stop coughing at all, my abdominals were sore and everything. The doctor said I had acute bronchitis and 90% of bronchitis is viral so he didn't think zpack would help and gave me an albuterol inhaler. After no sleep for 2 nights, took zpack and immediately felt better !! There are zpack pills that have a pink outer layer on them these have less effect on your stomach. I have taken both the plain white ones and the pink ones, the pink only made me sleepy, the whites always give me diarrhea on the first doze. I think there is a difference between them"

For Bacterial Infection: "I was literally sobbing when I read all of the side effects people said they were experiencing when taking azithromynic. BUT DO NOT STRESS! Stressing will make you feel a lot worse and that won't help. I panicked for nothing! I was given this antibiotics following an abortion . I recommend doing what I did, I ate a slice of bread at lunch time because that's all I could stomach but anything starchy I was told was a good idea. I ate the bread an hour before I planned to take the tablets. I then took x2 Stugeron 15 ( travel sickness tablets) . An hour later (13:33pm) I took x4 Azithromynic with lots of water. I fell asleep almost straight away. LUCKILY no side affects at all! Slight cramping but great overall and it's 18:44pm good luck guys "

For Chlamydia Infection: "I had four 250mg of azithromycin and felt fine straight after. I hadn't read the reviews and didn't know what was to happen next. BOOM two and a half hours later I there was a waterfall coming out my butt and felt like I was about to throw up! My temperature rapidly increased and I had terrible stomach pains! The next day I continue to feel ill having awful stomach pains but not once did I poo! Definitely learnt my lesson! 100% making sure the boy covers up:/"

For Chlamydia Infection: "I was diagnosed with chlamydia and was given two 500mg pills to take at the clinic around 10am. They said it'll make me nauseous. I was fine for two hours until I got home around 12pm and started having sharp stabbing stomach pains worst pain I've ever felt ended up going to the bathroom and throwing up. Then right after that had to flush and ended up having watery diarrhea stayed in the bathroom an hour doubled over from the stomach pains while sitting on the toilet still. Pain let up an I took a nap for 2 hours and went to school got there around 3:50 ended up going home 15 minutes later because the stomach pain came back and I was literally crying sitting on the toilet in the college locker room. Went home been in bed ever since its 12am"

For Chlamydia Infection: "I was a bit skeptical at first because of all of the reviews so I waited a day or so after I actually picked up the medicine to take it ... so today I took the 1 GM powder packet. For one it tasted disgusting but I felt perfectly fine after I drank all of it. Out of no where my abdominal started hurting and then I threw up and now I have explosive diarrhea. This is horrible !!!"

For Bacterial Infection: "NP put me on zpack 5 day. I took the first dose (500 mg) yesterday at 4pm. I have diarrhea about 2 hours after I took it. I get home from work at 10pm and start having the most severe abdominal pains that moved up to my upper abdomen, chest, and wrapped around my back. I couldn't sleep, no position helped alleviate the pain I was in. It felt like my lungs were tightening to the point I couldn't breath normal nor talk in full sentences to tell my bf what was wrong. I'm not one to go to the ER over anything but I made him drive me and on the route there the pain stopped and I was fine. So I never went in the ER but the pain was severe enough to make me go. I ate a full meal before and drank plenty of water. I won't take it again. So scary."

For Chlamydia Infection: "I'm sharing this to dim the fear in everyone's head from the rest of these comments I took this medication because I found out I had chlamydia I was extremely anxious because I have horrendous allergies to a lot of antibiotics I had four 250g white pills in the clinic free of charge and expected the worse So I took the medication at 9:30 in the morning by 10 I felt like I was gonna throw up but didn't, the nausea lasted 30 mins max. I got home by 11 went straight to bed woke up around 2 and was fine and it's currently the next day and I have had one dump (not diarrhoea) and I've had no other issues There's hope after all ! Enjoy being chlamydia free everyone x"

For Sinusitis: "I am on day 2 of this antibiotic for a severe sinus infection. On my first dose of the 2 pills, my stomach started becoming upset, it was bloating and overall bad feeling in my gut. Day 2 (which is where I am at now), and I do feel much better concerning my sinus issues but my stomach still hurts and I am bloated. I have been taking this antibiotic for years and have not experienced this before with my stomach. I had something to eat right after taking both doses. But I will say that the sinus pain and pressure in my face and eyes is gone!! Which is a big deal to me. I'll just have to deal with the stomach pains... they aren't severe. I am wondering if somehow they have changed the make up of this antibiotic since I haven't had these issue"

For Chlamydia Infection: "2 hours after taking it POW explosion of diarrhea! The worst diarrhea I have ever experienced I want it to end now but there is no light at the end of the tunnel yet!! ...I'm trying to drink some boiled ginger and taking comfort knowing we're all suffering together :( sorry guys haha it's a small price to pay (although my butt would argue that)"

Zithromax (azithromycin) for Bronchitis: "I woke up one morning with burning in my chest when I coughed, lots of mucous in my upper respiratory area, a headache, 101 fever and the mucous was even flowing out of my left eye. My Internist prescribed the Zpack. On day 3, the burning in my chest went away. But the side effects were severe. On day 3, I began to get massive night sweats. These sweats lasted 31 days after the last pill I took. My blood sugar level also rose to prediabetic levels. My glucose was tested at 115, then 108. My blood pressure and heart beat rocketed for well over a month before it subsided. I would say that my body did not respond very well to Zithromax. But the drug did what it was suppose to. I would never take this drug again unless I was forced to ."

For Chlamydia Infection: "So hubby and I tested positive for chlamydia, kicking myself because I think we have both had it asymptomatically for at least half a year, him longer. Chlamydia is a silent, sneaky bastard! Anyway we got prescribed the two pill method to take at once. We had just eaten breakfast, him an omelette and I oatmeal. After taking it I had a banana, some nuts and later on dinner. I found I randomly had some sharp stomach pains that lasted about 30 minutes but they were bearable. I've been gassy all day, which is annoying but again, not the worst thing ever. Hubby hasn't been spared. He's been in and out of the bathroom all day! But he's had a sensitive stomach the past two weeks as it is so it's hard to say what affected what."

For Chlamydia Infection: "My partner was told he had chlamydia I am pregnant and went to the doctor the very ne t day to get tested. I will have the results in 2 days but if he has it the doctors pretty sure I do. I was given the 1gram powder I mixed with it water and it tasted TERRIBLE I gagged but just swallowed my throw up so I still digest it. I have work early in the morning and have really bad diarrhea now. My stomach will not stop bubbling and I am unable to sleep. Yeah it's nice to get rid of this problem so easy with one dose but my god it makes you feel terrible"

For Chlamydia Infection: "Took 4 of the 250mg pink tabs in the car in front of CVS. Told my boyfriend how that was "it". Drove home right after (thank God I almost stopped at Dominoes to order a pizza for dinner). Started folding laundry while talking on the phone then BAM!!!!! Started to feel nauseated, ran and grabbed some kettle chips and chugged a half water thinking it would do the trick- only made me more nauseated. I took a big dump and nowI am laying on unfolded laundry in a fetal position while my stomach is cramping and trying to speak to me. I also have a horrible taste in my mouth as well."

For Chlamydia Infection: "I took four of the azithromycin pills about an hour ago and had a small meal afterwards. The thing is I've been sitting on the toilet for the past 40 minutes with the worst (my worst) case of diarrhea. Although I do find that taking these are very effective; I'd suggest not eating before taking them in case you might throw them up.. Eating a little bit after is good too to keep away from feeling nauseated and all."

For Chlamydia Infection: "Worked amazingly took it 2 hours ago and already feel better. To the people with stomach cramps drink a tall glass of ice cold water and a gentle meal and you'll easily avoid nausea and diahrrea :)"

For Chlamydia Infection: "I'm here for the same issues as others, cheating partner and an unfortunate experience as a result. Already horrified, I read these reviews and wanted to cry even more. Eating a starchy meal was very good advice. I ate a small bowl of potato salad, drink 16 ounces of water and took the medication. It did make me tired so I napped periodically throughout the day. I ate a small bowl of pasta in the early evening and drink a little more water. Other than mild fatigue and mild cramping at night, I did not have any of the horrible symptoms that were shared here. Hopefully others have a like experience but if I had a severe reaction I would call my doctor right away."

Zithromax (azithromycin) for Bronchitis: "Was given Z pack for Bronchitis. Didn't really help with it. Made me have diarrhea. Made me sick to my stomach, terrible metallic taste and sinus mucus. It was like it was toxic on my system. I also got a bladder infection after taking it. Probably killed all the good bacteria in my gut. Never again."

RitzGS (taken for less than 1 month) May 26, 2017

For Bacterial Infection: "WARNING: I took only 4 pills of this medication during a flu with sinus infection and it caused me to lose my abilities to smell and taste. It also caused severe headaches and dizziness until I stopped taking it. I don't know what it may mean for me to not be able to smell or taste again... I can't imagine the rest of my life with such a loss, but if I can at least warn others and prevent it from happening to another person..."

Ann990 May 24, 2017

For Chlamydia Infection: "Two hours after taking these I started to feel like garbage. My stomach felt extremely gassy which caused me to be in the toilet for a good 30mins with diarrhea. It was like a faucet was turned on and my bowels let loose. Afterwards I started to feel a lot better. I mean I can't complain about the symptoms because at least chlamydia is curable. Rather go through this and be cured."
