Azithromycin

I don’t like it at all. I have went to a urgent care because I have had an upper respiratory infection that had and is still having me coughing up a lot of phlegm in the mornings as well as I had an audible rattle in my chest. All of this made me very scared but besides this I was also having concerns of a rash in one of my armpit being a reaction to use Mucinex DM but my PA mentioned that it was not causing a reaction. Anyway, I have been prescribed Azithromycin for the upper respiratory infection I have got as well as an over the counter yeast infection cream for healing the rash I am having my armpit. Well, why I don’t like this drug is that besides it being completely useless for my condition, it gave me allergic reaction or side effect or whatever. After the very first day of using this medicine I have already noticed that I am having hives all over my thighs the very same evening I started to use it. ok, I thought that it was nothing uncommon maybe for an antibiotic and that would go away. However, after 3 days of being on this drug those hives are visibly much worse than they used to be on my thighs and they have also spread and developed on my arms and they are now itchy and the itchiness also seems to worsen. This taking in consideration with the fact that my symptoms have not changed at all with the upper respiratory issues so I have got a total of 5 wasted days, money waste on this drug, got side effects and all of this for no good. I am surely going to call the urgent care tomorrow and I am going to report this and I am sure that now I would have to spend money on a drug allergy because of this five day antibiotic. I am surely not recommending it to anybody!

i am so sorry that there are people who are getting additional issues with this drug. it seems that for some people it is very helpful while for others… it is not as helpful. lucky me that I am into the group of people who found it very helpful. I was out with strep a while back and I am having allergic reactions to amoxicillin that is why I am usually getting screwed up nearly each time when it is coming to antibiotics. That’s why I said that I am so lucky. I have went to see the doctor and he mentioned about this drug and that’s what he prescribed me, very happy about it. he gave me the directions that I need to take one per day for 5 days and by the second day I have already feeling much much much better than I have been feeling the previous week. Extremely helpful medication, no doubt. I am sure that if I would ever come down with the strep once more then I am going to use it once again. very fast acting, helpful medication that did not gave me any side effects. really, I did not had any side effects with this drug and that’s a strange thing because as I said – I am getting screwed with nearly all the antibiotics out there, good thing they made this antibiotic. I rate it 5 out of 5 stars as it is an extremely good thing and nothing that I could complain on.

I’ve also tried it. for Chlamydia. Didn’t knew I had it as I was having sex only with my boyfriend. Realized he cheated on me. there were no other ways I could get it and then I found out that my boyfriend contacted me with chlamydia. I had to get checked for ruling out. I am only 21 years old and I have had to go into my first gyno test… got so scared. I was petrified. Had to wait for my results. they called me back about 5 days later and they said that I am having chlamydia and that a treatment with antibiotics should be started. Gave me this antibiotics and prescribed 4 tablets of it. got the directions that I need to take all 4 of them with food. That’s what I have done, I felt good for about one hour with no side effects and thought that the side effects would never come now, however I was wrong as then I started to feel nauseous. Then I started to have some extremely major runs and that’s why I have taken a shower in order to cool down, it was very liquidy. I knew that it should have been working. so far don’t know how it works as I am waiting now to go to my check up which is going to be soon. I really hope that it worked well and destroyed the chlamydia and that I won’t ever need to use it again. one side note for you all who intends to use it: do not take these tablets before you are going to school or to work as you would regret it, trust me. I have got lucky that I have taken them in my home in privacy and I have had nothing to do that day. besides, a recommendation for me (from a person who already suffered from this), do not have unprotected sex with a person unless you know his sexual history and you know for sure that he is not cheating on you. I’m sure that from now on, I am going to use condoms always and it doesn’t matter if it’s my boyfriend I was dating for half a year (like the previous one).
