For Bacterial Infection "I found the generic Greenstone brand 250 mg tablet, NDC 59762-3060-1, to not be effective! In the past, I have taken the brand name Zithromax Z-Pak, and by the third dose, I knew I was recovering from my illness. Since starting the GS brand, I have experienced unusual tiredness, voice hoarseness, and an increase in a stuffy, mucus-filled nose. Completed RX as instructed, not improved any. I feel it should be pulled from the insurance companies' list of generic azithromycins!!"

For Sinusitis "Re: Side effects. I forgot to add to the comments I just submitted that while my stomach felt a little weird the morning after my first dose (this being 12 hours later), I was prepared to eat plenty of probiotics, which I have been doing. I have not had any problems; I am really pushing the yogurt and kefir. I did feel extraordinarily tired but not debilitated, and I was extremely fatigued from nearly 5 weeks of being sick, so the trade-off is meaningless, and it's improved after the first mega-dose anyway."

For Bronchitis "Works great and quick. Will make you tired and sleepless at night. But for all that, you are rearing to go in 5 days."
