For Bronchitis "This medication is garbage! I have had acute bronchitis for 7 days, started this medication on day 2, took the last pill today, I feel awful. My lung hurts when I cough, still not coughing anything up. Feel just as bad as I did before starting this zpack "

For Bronchitis "Very bad choice for me- should have checked interactions first myself! I am an Afib patient who has been in Sinusoidal rhythm for 5 years after a cardioversion in 2011. I took Azithromycin as prescribed and went into Afib a week later. The cardioversion didn't work this time so we're now looking at more serious alternatives......................"

For Bronchitis "Dr said "I know that you said azithromycin doesn't work for you, but let's give it another try," She said, obviously disbelieving me. I have yet again finished a z pack. I (yet again) still have Bronchitis. Wasted time. At least I get no side effects from this. On to the next rx"

For Upper Respiratory Tract Infection "Dose: azithromycin 500mg four times a day. Prescribed for 7 days. On day 2 now, I feel the medication is working feeling a little better already but all day been with nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea and backpain. I usually don't get any side effects from antibiotics but I'm struggling with this one. If side effects continue in day 3 I'm calling the doctor. Could be the dose is too high who knows. I'm not enjoying this so far."

For Bronchitis "I have Asthma so maybe it makes it worse . But it came on suddenly with no fever. No change in pulse . Just a cough that hurt the back of my head so bad that it rattled my brain and made me see fireworks in my head . I don't think this z pac worked for me because after laying in bed no energy for 1 week I went to the doc again . This time he prescribed Bactrim and it seems to be working - I'm feeling better. The doc asked if I had a loose stool , no I didn't but my BF has the same symptons and a very loose stool . I just wish he would go to the Doc so we don't pass this back and forth ..Arithamyicin has worked for me in the past but not with whatever this supercough is. Its feeling like nothing ever before is ... I just wonder how contagious it is"

For Bronchitis "Zpack made me breakout with a rash and scratch n scratch n scratch some more. Both of my legs, top to bottom both broke out, the itching kept me up all night along w my cough. Well finished the zpack, figured getting rid of bronchitis was more important than itchy reaction. Well after scratching til i broke skin iIstill have a nagging cough and phlegm, it's significantly less and much thinner but still there."

For Chlamydia Infection "I had the one time 1g dose pack of Azithromycin for Chlamydia, it says to take on a empty stomach but soon as I drunk the mixture, the food was ready so I literally ate a full course meal with it. Then in about 45 minutes later my stomach started to hurt , I used the bathroom twice with diarrhea."

For Chlamydia Infection "This is my first time getting Chlamydia, I can honestly say I cried so much because I didn’t know how I got it. My boyfriend had gotten tested 2 weeks before we had intercourse and I got tested right after him and came up with nothing, he didn’t have any symptoms of it and I didn’t either, I only had BV and I don’t know maybe that made me prone to get chlamydia, but let me get to the point with my anxiety and phobia of pills it took me 3-4 days to drink the pills because I was scared of taking the 4 pills (1000mg) all together. And reading these reviews of how people reacted made me anxious but me I reacted fine for now as I’m writing this sitting on the toilet yes it does give you some stomach aches here and there they were strong at first until I fell asleep around 1AM and it made me feel very gassy and nauseous I hate it. But keep yourself hydrated at all times and take it before bed !! Don’t be scared to take it, hopefully I get cured from this and it never comes back!"

"I had bad sinus infection, Normally take z-pak as I am allergic to many anti-biotics. This was a different z-pak then I had gotten before from my drugstore. THIS antibiotic is made by Sandoz. Previous z-paks made by another company. Anyway, after I had taken 3 of the pills, I noticed my joints were aching but ignored it cause had sinus infection. On day 4 I still didn't feel any better in my sinuses but achiness was worse. The bottom line is , I couldn't take the last pill cause too much achiness . I called my pharmacist and told him what happened and didn't seem concerned. I will go another drugstore to get a more efficient z-pak."
