"I took the Z pack for sinus, pneumonia. The first day, I took 2 pills. On the 2nd day, I had diarrhea, and I continued to take it, though minor side effects. The diarrhea continued with probiotics, BRAT diet. The 5th day, the last pill, my heart raced 140 BP 140s over 90s. The diarrhea sent me to the ER 3 times, checking for C. diff and getting rehydrated. It also flared my diverticulitis, so I had to take Imodium. My heart continued to race, I do not have cardiac problems, and the EKGs were normal. It has been 20 days since the last dose, and I am feeling better. Less anxiety, my diverticulitis calmed down. This is not an amazing drug, it causes more problems than it fixes. I think it should only be administered in an inpatient setting with IV fluids and monitored for side effects and a lower strength. I will never take this medication ever. If I need an antibiotic, I will demand an inpatient setting. Don't take this medication, pure poison."

"I have been suffering from systemic Candida since I took this horrible medication over 4 months ago. I had pneumonia and was prescribed this horrible drug. After 5 days, I got a UTI, stomach cramps, dehydration, yeast infection, and have since been fighting UTIs, yeast infections, oral infections, eye infection, and esophageal infection. I highly suggest thinking twice before taking this awful thing."

"Made me very sick. Lost hearing. Affected my eyesight. Several other very dangerous side effects happening after 2 doses. Will update after I figure out what the end results will be. Still going through a lot of very painful side effects as well."

"I brought my 1-year and 8-month-old daughter to the doctor because she had a cold and fever, and he prescribed Zithromax suspension for 5 days. My baby is fatigued, has a cold sore, and refuses to eat or drink, and she has had a fever for four days. This medicine is definitely not worth the cost."

"My husband was diagnosed with pneumonia less than 24 hours ago. He has taken his first azithromycin dose of 2. In less than 24 hours, he is about 95% better. It seems to be working miracles with him."

"I gave it a 5 because I have no idea if it will work or not. Just finished the Z-pack for pneumonia. It doesn’t seem to have done anything at all. Maybe in a few more days?"
