I have been taking this medication for a couple of times for different symptoms such as ear infection, strep, upper respiratory, sinus infection as well as UTI (but, in fact, I wasn’t usually prescribed this for urinary tract infections but still). I recommend it to everyone, you should try it at least once and see how it works for you. I don’t know if it would work the same way as it does for me but if this is the case then you’re as lucky as I am, but I’m one very lucky person when it comes to this medication. I love this drug a lot as it helps me a lot, in fact, I can say that I love all the mycins out there. in the past, before I have ever found this medicine I was put on other antibiotics like for example Cipro and Bactrum (sp) but I was having very bad side effects from them. but, while I am on this medicine I have absolutely no side effects at all and it does help me a lot, it makes me feel a lot much better. in fact, I don’t even feel that I am taking it and for me this is a very important point because usually when I’m on some other medicines I’m feeling bad. I know that each one of us is different so every single medicine is working differently for every single person, in the time a certain medicine (like for example this one) awesomely works for somebody (like for example me) for the same condition (like for example upper respiratory) as other patient has (like for example other people I have seen). Our bodies are all different, they are not the same. I mentioned that I’ve seen some other people who had side effects because I’ve read a lot of reviews about this drug and they said that they had side effects, well, comparing to them I didn’t had any at all. this is not a scientific fact, but my person opinion is that this is the best antibiotic that currently exists that really helps and that doesn’t have side effects, and my family as well as some other friends of mine who have been on it also agree with me. azithromycin always cleared up my infections completely with no failure in a short period of time. I recommend everyone at least to give it one try.

Well, I got tested for STD a couple of days ago because I was feeling “not like usual”. Yesterday I have got my results and with my results I have got a prescription. The results from the STD test that was given to me by my OBGYN showed that I am positive for Chlamydia infection. Doc said I need to start the battle against the infection asap. That is why he recommended Azithromycin tablets immediately. What pisses me off is that I have had sex only with one person!! It was the first and the only time for me to have unprotected sex and I got the infection – I am so unlucky. This devastated me. at least I’m lucky that I have a good doctor who really does care about my condition. That’s how he prescribed me 2 tablets of Azithromycin (they come in 500 mg each). I do have some side effects from the drug, but nothing to be scared about. In fact, I find these side effects to be pretty strange. There’s nothing life threatening but because you might get dizzy, you might become weak and it an also interfere with your vision (at least this is my case) as well as it might or might not to cause you to suffer from a mild stomach pain. As I said, there is absolutely nothing that you should be scared about, however I would recommend you to drink a lot of water as well as to not use this medication while you’re having an empty stomach. Don’t eat too fatty when taking it but also don’t use it on empty stomach. In this way you can avoid some side effects. especially stomach pains and dizziness. I also assume that the best time to take it is when you are located in a comfortable place, like your home. Anyway, I think that all the side effects that I am now having are worth it and that’s because sooner or later they would disappear and with them the STD is going to disappear too, so for me personally, it is much better to have some side effects for a while but to get rid of the STD completely. Dunno, maybe it is just me and my personal thoughts… anyway, one very sure thing is that I won’t be having any unprotected sex from now on. Next time it is going to be with my husband who has been tested for STD!

Bad product that makes my life worse. After only 3 days of using this azithromycin my hands got very swollen and my skin got extremely red with many blisters all over it. they looked awful. Besides their esthetical look, my hands were hurting me extremely bad. I had to hold an ice bag continuously for 2 days in order to get at least some relief from my hands that were hurting so bad, believe me I never had such a bad pain, especially in my hands. I couldn’t work for a couple of days because of this. in fact, I was unable to do anything. Thanks to my husband who took care of my those days. As soon as the medication was totally out from my system, my hands returned to their normal state, the skin peeled of along with the blisters who also disappeared. I’m sure that I won’t ever use this drug again. I’ve searched information about it online prior to use it and I saw that it has quite good effects on other people, but not on me. I’m happy for those people who had positive results with this medicine, but unfortunately, I’m not one of them. I can’t tolerate this thing. as I said, I won’t use it ever again.

These days went to my doc who diagnosed me with chlamydia infection and told me that I should use Azithromycin for this. I have taken 4 doses of this drug today a few hours ago, I took all them at once for this infection (that’s how my doc. said that I should take them). I have taken 4 doses of 250 mg which means 1 g of Azithromycin at once. Before I have taken them I checked for people’s reviews about this drug and I saw that there were a lot of people who had different experiences but I got very scared because I saw that a lot of people had very bad side effects. Because of this I was in doubt if I should take them or not. however, a little bit later I took them anyway, that’s because I thought that if this medication was prescribed to me by my doc then it should be helpful, besides, I really want to get rid of the infection and as I don’t know any other methods I was out of options. Today in the morning (a few hours ago) I have taken them and until this moment I am having absolutely no side effects at all. I don’t know, maybe I should wait a little bit more for them to appear but almost a full day passed and I don’t have anything. I saw that people were complaining that they have dizziness, diarrhea and stomach pains (as well as a lot of other symptoms) few hours after taking it. I don’t have any of them at all until this moment. Oh yeah, I have had a little bit of feeling like I’m nauseous, however I think that this is because I was very hungry (I didn’t eat anything) so as soon as I ate something I felt completely fine again. as for drug’s effectiveness I’m not sure yet but I really hope that it is going to be as effective as I have been said that it would be. Besides, I really think that this is going to work because most people were complaining that they have side effects but in the same time this thing works. I have seen very few people saying that it was completely ineffective. So I assume that everything is going to be fine. I don’t know. Anyway, I’m going to pay attention to every little detail and then later I would go for another test and wait for the results that I really hope that would be negative! So far, this drug seems good.

Not sure if this works or no and here I am going to explain why I am telling this. so, last week my sexual partner told me that this is having chlamydia so he said that he would want me to get checked out in order to find out if I got contacted with it or no. So, I went to the nearest PP in the same day I have been told so I got tested. Luckily the test came back to be negative so I have been thinking that oh my god… thanks that I’m fine. however, when I have been talking with the nurse she said that it could take up to 14 days (2 weeks) in order to get some more accurate results (she said that only after 2 weeks we’re getting the most accurate results). it is only have been one week and some different since having sex. The doctor there said that if I’m so afraid about that he could still give me some azithromycin to take only to be on the safe side. That’s what I’ve done. I took 2 pills of 500 mg of that thing right in the doctor’s office. I have been feeling fine and it seemed that I wouldn’t feel those pills at all, however, as soon as I got home them oh my…. I started to feel soooo freking bag. I have had an intense feeling like I am having to throw up. but I was trying to do my best not to throw because I didn’t wanted to throw the pills because if I did I had to take some pills again. so I didn’t. but I did had some diarrhea for about one hour or so, however, I noticed that as soon as I ate a little bit I started to feel fine back again. so far I have no chlamydia infection and the side effects of the pill weren’t that bad. But I also don’t know if it did help or I didn’t get infected at all. But if I would know that I am infected I would definitely try it!

There’s a reason why I am here and why I am now writing this, and it is that I don’t want anybody to go through what I have went through, this is the reason why I beg you to read this before you start using this antibiotic. Azithromycin has worked very good for killing the infection I got, however, it has caused me nausea that was lasing for a lot of weeks afterward because of the system upset I had that it is pretty common for a lot of antibiotics out there, BUT, it seemed a lot more common with this antibiotic, at least for me. This is the reason that if you are thinking about using this drug then I strongly recommend you all to stick up on probiotics!!!! Like for example you can use BD Lactinex. You need to purchase it and use it constantly during as well as after the antibiotic treatment!!! The probiotics are worth only $ 30 or so but that’s a very small price for what it is going to do for you after how the antibiotic is going to make you feel when it has killed off both your bad and good bacteria in your body. besides that I can also recommend you to get a prescription for phenergen (it has worked very well for me) or also Zofran is said to be good to. it is a newer stuff however it did not help me so I cannot recommend it personally. But phenergen helped me very much with the nausea. You can also feel it even while you are on probiotics in the time you are getting through the time of side effects. If you are not going to follow my advices then you have pretty big chances to end the same way as I did: the first time when I have taken azithromycin I have ended up in the ER on the intravenous fluids. You may not do what I tell you but that’s a risk. when I got prescribed azithromycin for the 2nd time I got scared. Very much. I was thinking not to use it. but I discussed about this with my doctor who recommended me probiotics. So I took both of them and that’s how I got through it even though it still was not pleasing at all. if I would be ever be prescribed azithromycin (but I hope not) then I guess I am going to try some other antibiotics instead of it. or maybe some other probiotics. The point is that from now on, whenever I would be given an antibiotic – the probiotic is going to be what I am going to buy in the first place and only after that I would go for the antibiotic. That’s exactly what I recommend you all to do. even if you are having a very good immune system and you won’t end up the same way I ended up for the first time then sooner or later, if you won’t do anything about that – you will end up like that. maybe not the first and maybe not the second time. but after a while of being on antibiotics your body would give up. that’s why there are probiotics. Helping us getting thru that!

I am suffering from bronchitis so when I went to my doctor to complain about this he recommended me azithromycin. I have only started to use this drug for my condition and wow, I am already feeling better. I mean, I just started and it already helped – didn’t expected so quick results. this thing does help me with the bronchitis so that is why I can recommend it to everybody who is suffering from the same condition. What I can say is that I have noticed that I am having some pretty bad and pretty often diarrhea as well as some stomach pains but I just try to eat right and it does seem to help both with diarrhea and with stomach pains. Besides that, I am also pretty restless during the night, however, besides that, everything is fine. that is why I think that my final answer is: it is worth trying it, I don’t regret that I did.

I have visited my doctor in order to complain about a sore throat as well as a cough with sinus pressure that didn’t get any better after one week of using OTC drugs. That doctor claimed that I am having acute sinusitis so I got a prescription of a Z pack (azithromycin) but sincerely I was pretty skeptical about that because I am having IBS and I have had gastric bypass surgery. This is the reason why antibiotics are a hit or miss for me. With absolutely every single antibiotic that I have used for whatever the reason (tonsillitis, UTI or a tooth infection) I have ended up with stomach pains as well as diarrhea. however, this site, with the Z pack I have got all of the above I said with an extra bonus for me of nausea. I have taken my first dose with absolutely no issues at all (first dose of 2 pills), and I have also had no initial problems with my second dose either (the second dose was of only 1 pill). however, later, after the second dose I started to get all of that – it started at 4 AM, the stomach cramps woke me up and it begun. My sinus infection now seems to be gone away and now I’m wondering if it disappeared with the help of this Z pack or I didn’t needed it at all? Either way, the GI issues were not mild at all, that is why I would rather choose to deal with the sinus problems… The drug is helpful and might be good, but because of the medical issues I have had in the past, this antibiotic is not good for me so I am now thinking in trying only some god nasal sprays and hoping that they would help.

I used this medication myself. I am working in the overnight shift in a hospital (but not as a patient care). Well, everything started when I got somewhere a very bad head cold which a bit later has transformed into a sinus infection with no fever. Obviously this is not the end of the world and not that bad, however, a bit later (3 weeks later) and I have got already 3 work night shifts already missed then I finally decided that I need to check it all out, after some tests etc. etc. my doc prescribed me to take azithromycin for a 5 day total treatment. 2 days later and both my sinuses as well as my head started to improve, however, there is still a side effect. In fact, I’m not sure if this is a possible side effect of the drug, but I am having a pretty bad insomnia right now. I need to mention again that I am working in the overnight shift and as you can understand (guess those who work in overnight shift understands me) sleeping during the day was never easy, however as soon as I started to use this drug I have missed other 3 extra work shifts (a total of 6 work shifts) and the last 3 ones were only because I was unable to sleep enough so I can work during the night (I was sleeping less than 4 hours a day). now, even though both my head and my sinuses are noticeable getting better and better, I still refuse to work when I do not get enough sleep. I cannot say that this drug is the best, but at least it helps and I hope that as soon as I am going to stop to take it, the insomnia side effects would disappear too.

For the last week I have been suffering from a bad bronchitis, I can say that this was the worst one that I have ever had. It has all started with my throat being very sore, so so sore that I wasn’t even able to swallow water normally, not talking about food (by the way, it seems that I lost some pounds this week), then it have easily and pretty quick spread into my chest that was creating me a very bad cough that was extremely painful and simply unable to live with. For a couple of years now I am badly stomach intolerant to antibiotics so I have been told to stay away from them as much as I could, however, this time when it all got so bad I could not resist any more that I simply did not care and I was ready to do anything in order to feel a bit better again. so, that’s what I’ve done. went to my doctor and I have begged him to do something because that’s more than enough for me to feel this way. Yesterday he gave me the Z pack and I started to take the first dose right away (2 pill dose), what surprised me that bad is that I have started to feel better within a couple of hours of taking my first dose. But, yesterday I assumed that it might be a placebo effect so I tried not to hope too much. however, I saw that I’m living the reality when my fever completely disappeared overnight and when I woke up today (after lots of hours of sleep) I can say that I am already 80% or even more better than yesterday. For me this is the best thing so far. I’m intolerant to antibiotics and it worked so good for me. I guess that the only downside of this drug is that I have told my hubby that today I’m feeling so great and that I’m nearly feeling completely fine, that is why I would probably have to actually do some housework, lol. This is an amazing medication that has done wonders with my bronchitis!
