"I was prescribed a 5-day Z-Pak to treat a streptococcal pharyngitis infection. After the second day, the medication reduced the swelling and throat pain, but began to cause stomach cramping and pain. By the end of the third day, the stomach pain was severe, and the doctor recommended discontinuing use. This is the only antibiotic I have used that has caused an allergic reaction."

"I was prescribed this medication for a serious case of Strep Throat, and although it's working to relieve Strep... it's giving me some crazy side effects. The diarrhea is absolutely annoying, and since I started taking this med, I've felt pain in the left side of my chest near my armpit. I wouldn't recommend this medication. Just take Amoxicillin or Penicillin if you're not allergic to it."

"This is the only antibiotic that ever works for me. Whenever I have a cold and the doctor claims it is viral, it always goes to my tonsils. This time I waited 7 days, suffering fever and a throat so sore I could not swallow, and eventually went to the pharmacist and asked for Zithromax Z-Pak. Within 1 day, I was 80 percent healed. No side effects. It works for me every time. By day 2, all sinus congestion had gone and I got my first real sleep in two weeks."
