"Had strep throat and double ear infection, including one ruptured eardrum. I was so sick, but after 24 hours on Z-Pak, there was a major turnaround, with 80% recovery within 48 hours. It was much faster and more effective than Amoxicillin or similar."

"Woke up due to severe vertigo. Diagnosis of otitis media (at 43? Haven't had an ear infection since I was 13). Doctor prescribed a Z-Pak (Azithromycin 500 mg Day 1, 250 mg days 2-5). The vertigo decreased by Day 3, but never completely subsided. The second morning after finishing the Z-Pak, the vertigo was back in full force, and my ear started to ache. Azithromycin didn't kill the infection."

"After my son had the croup for three weeks and spent ten days on Augmentin and fighting with a two-year-old to administer it twice a day, he developed a severe sinus infection. The physician prescribed liquid Zithromax that had to be given once per day and only for five days and did not need to be refrigerated, which was great since we were traveling, and best of all, it got rid of the croup and the sinus infection very fast - it's a winner."

"This medicine absolutely did not help. Have bronchitis and an inner ear infection, and the Z-Pak did not help at all."
