Avatar n tn SIDE EFFECTS: Azithromycin is generally well tolerated. The most common side effects are diarrhea or loose stools, nausea, abdominal pain, and vomiting which may occur in fewer than one in twenty persons who receive azithromycin. Rare side effects include abnormal liver tests, allergic reactions, and nervousness if you had an adverse reaction generally it will happen as quickly as yours has. Contact your dr. to see if you should continue with your treatment.
Avatar n tn thanks! i tried all your suggestions and there hasn't been any pain since. i'm still experiencing mild diarrhea but i guess i'm one of the unlucky 5% who experience side effects from azithromycin. thanks so much!
Avatar f tn org/drugs-supplements/azithromycin-oral-route/side-effects/drg-20072362 suggests that white spots on the lips are a rare side effect of azithromycin. I really hope that is causing it.
Avatar f tn org/posts/STDs---STIs/Are-these-Azithromycin-and-Ciprofloxacin-side-effects/show/2996010# gardnerella also factor into the white tongue/lump in throat etc. (in addition to the antibiotics)? I cannot find a whole lot of information about gardnerella in men. On a side note, I am assuming the gardnerella was the cause of inflammation since I had tested negative for chlamydia and gonorrhea.
Avatar m tn Facial rashes, night sweats and the closing of my throat. That is when I stopped using Bactrim. All other side effects are gone except for the closing of my throat that comes on and off, especially when I'm done eating. It's been going on for 2 weeks (since my last bactrim dose). It doesn't make my breathing or eating any difficult but is just very annoying. It stopped for 2 days and happened one late night, 2-3 hours after drinking alcohol.
Avatar m tn asked doctor today, he said could be the azithromycin, give it a couple of days.... however that is not on the side effects list of the azithromycin..... is this related to my ulcer... and what the hell is the cause of my ulcer if it is not syphilis and hsv... and so far azithromycin has not had the healing effect the doc said?
5268376 tn?1406179712 I looked at Zithromax side effects, they vary by the dosage, single or multiple doses, doses in combination with another drug, and are listed as pre-marketing trials and post-marketing reports. Rhythm issues were reported less than 1% of the time in pre-marketing trials, and also in post-marketing reports. Post marketing reports are apparently voluntary and often include things clearly not related to the drug.
Avatar m tn Welcome to our Forum. thanks for the complement and thanks even more for reviewing some of our prior posts- your assessment of your risk is right on target and you have used the site to learn about your STD risks in just the manner that we hope for. I trip to the clinic is reasonable.
Avatar n tn Welcome to the forum. Azithromycin in a single dose of 2 g is one of the back-up recommendations for gonorrhea treatment, if the treatments of choice (e.g. ceftriaxone, cefixime) are not available or if the infected person may be allergic to them. It is very reliable and has the advantage of also being effective against chlamydia -- which actually requires only a 1 g dose. Except for rare allergic reactions, the only side effect of azithromycin is gastrointestinal intolerance.
Avatar f tn 6, gas on my tummy, pain in my jaw , sore throat after 3 days , but gone after 3 days also,,, got no swollen lymph and no rashes,,,, ,thinking bout the late side effects as well of the azithromycin,still having some on and off feverish feel,, is this ARS?
Avatar f tn Am I experiencing allergies to these drugs or just side effects? Should I avoid tetracyclines? Is it common to be allergic or sensitive to more than one?
Avatar n tn you might be better off doing the one time dose of azithromycin instead. leave a message and let them know the side effects you've been experiencing.
Avatar n tn Each class of antibiotics has a profile of what pathogens they work best for. So, the double antibiotic approach is giving you fuller coverage. Side effects may be more though. Anyway, check in with your doctor to be sure.
Avatar n tn Lastly, just how bad will the side effects be? Will it prevent me from going to work for the entire seven days? Thanks in advance.
Avatar n tn It has no effect against chlamydia or the other bacteria that cause cervicitis in women and NGU in men, and borderline efficacy at best against gonorrhea and syphilis. The alternative to doxycycline is azithromycin 1.0 g orally in a single dose, which is safe and effective in pregnancy. If gonorrhea is a concern, then it's azithromycin plus a cephalosporin antibiotic, such cefixime or cefpodoxime; or a 2.0 g dose of azithromycin.
Avatar f tn Azithromycin also called z-pak if Im not mistaken and I are best friends lol. I get it all the time when I have bronchitis. Its safe but you neex to eat something before taking it to avoid the side effects that you're getting.
Avatar m tn I looked it up to see what it was and it appears to have some serious side effects. Is this something I should be concerned about? If this warrants a separate thread, I will gladly open one. Thanks in advance.
Avatar n tn We do not give medication info
