"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, I am breathing much better, it is also clearing up my ear infection. The 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."

"Was first prescribed this on my discharge from the hospital with pneumonia. Had me feeling great within a few days. Just had it prescribed again to clear up an ear infection and a little bit of a chest infection starting. Same thing, cleared up in days. Only downside is the metallic taste in the mouth. Some people suggest taking it at night to avoid that, but sometimes I will wake up because of how awful it is. I also always make sure to take it with yogurt to help ease my stomach."

"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 effect I get is the metallic taste, I just take it at night to avoid it."

"I have COPD and experience many lung infections. Also allergic to penicillin. I have used many different antibiotics and find best results with Biaxin XL 1000 mg once daily. It does not bother my stomach at all. I usually experience relief within 2-3 days. Doctor gives me 10-day run of it... I sometimes take prednisone along with it on a 5-day blast, 30 mg a day... Prednisone is very good for lessening inflammation in the airways... leaves you sleepless, a little agitated, but works."
