I have a discharge problem and I went to clinic and they gave me azithromycin 500g but this pills are smelling in my mouth even though I brush my teeth its the same...And I only need sweets things in my mouth coz I dnt have taste in my mouth ## This is an antibiotic that is used to treat bacterial infections. The NIH lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash, and diarrhea. The odd taste in your mouth and bad breath should go away in a week or so, after you finish your course of treatment. Has there been any change?

Azithromycin or Penicillin which is more expensive and which is more effective in fighting upper respiratory infection ## The price will depend on where you live and which pharmacy you go to. Which is more effective depends on what type of bacteria has caused the infection, and its severity. Which medication has your doctor recommended? The FDA lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic, and diarrhea.

Azithromycin is an antibiotic medication used for the treatment of a number of bacterial infections.[4] This includes middle ear infections, strep throat, pneumonia, traveler's diarrhea, and certain other intestinal infections.[4] Along with other medications, it may also be used for malaria.[4] It can be taken by mouth or intravenously with doses once per day.[4] Common side effects include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and upset s...

I have had a reaction to poison ivy going on 3 weeks now. My face has been swelling and I really can't stop itching. I have had a cortisone shot, took prednisone, then they gave me a methylprednisolone dose pack.. I wonder if I need azithromycin? ## That is an antibiotic, so it is not going to do anything to help with an allergic reaction, it will only help treat, or prevent infections. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash, and diarrhea. Have you tried consulting a dermatologist? That really sounds like a severe allergic reaction.

i took the pill at night after dinner and the day after i didn't feel so good i had some stomach problem and i felt like vomit is that a normal reaction ??? should i take 250 instead of the 500 ?? should i keep taking it or stop ??? thanks roy ## Based on my research, stomach pain, nausea, and vomiting all appear to be common side effects of Azithromycin. Ref: nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/druginfo/meds/a697037.html#side-effects To my understanding, most side effects like this won't necessarily go away until you stop taking what's causing them in the first place. However I'd still recommend contacting your doctor first before stopping any medications. You can learn more about this drug on the page for Azithromycin Details I hope this helps!

I think the pharmacy gave me the wrong pill and now they are closed. My Azithromycin has always been pink not white and this one is white with GGD6 on it. ## Well first off, let me state that when a medication is available for generic production, it is made by many, many different companies and each pill will look different and have a different marking. The color actually means NOTHING. That said, this is, indeed, Azithromycin 250mgs. ## zithromycin comes in many shapes and colors it needs to be verified in the drug books with alll identifiers ggd6 bis not listed anywhere but here and it took me 2 hrs to find something on it

I was recently cleaning out my medication drawer and found cefixime and azithromycin medications in it. They belong to my husband. I thought it was weird that only 3 tablets had been taken from each pack. What would he be taking these for? ## These are both antibiotics that are used to treat various types of bacterial infections. The FDA lists their typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. Is there anything else I can help with?

pink 3969 on one side ## has anyone else had a bad reaction to the generic form of azithromycin especially made by TEVA or PLIVA - although you have taken the brand name before - Z-Pak by Pfizer. Please let me know and what you reaction was. thank you ## Yes I have--extreme dizziness. ## Yes - abdominal cramping - the same thing that occurs when I ingest gluten. ## I believe the marking you were looking at is 3060, with a G on the opposite side. It is manufactured by Greenstone limited and contains 250mgs of Azithromycin, which is an antibiotic that is used to treat various types of bacterial infections. Can you please double check the imprint and post back? The FDA does list dizziness, headache, nausea, abdominal cramping and diarrhea as being among its common side effects. How are you...

Hi, i'm 8 weeks pregnant. I went to see a doctor 2 weeks back for an infection. He gave me moxypen-250 but it didn't work, then i just went to the clinic and explained my situation. The sister gave me azithromycin. She said it's safe to use during pregnancy. Is it safe to take 4 tablets at the same time? I don't want to take any risks. Please help. ## The U.S. FDA considers Azithromycin to be safe during pregnancy, so you should follow the dosing instructions you were given. Its typical side effects may possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Hi I'm 25 weeks pregnant and I took Azithromycin and now I'm so worried it could be dangerous for my unborn baby please help me

I need to know more about an antibiotic prescription that was filled from a brand in India. Is this okay to take? I was surprised that it was not manufactured domestically. ## Can I use azithromycin for a sore throat or throat infection? ## white oblong pill with 787 on one side and PLIVA on the other. ## Azithromycin is a real antibiotic and made by a real company. I really haven't researched it to see what country it is made in. What makes you think it is fake? What are the imprints on it..the numbers/letters, color and shape of pill or capsule. I wouldn't take it just for a sore throat. A sore throat is usually viral not bacterial; therefore, an antibiotic will not really make a difference. If you suspect you have a throat infection such as strept or something like that get t...

I am taking bisoprolol 5 mg daily for tachycardia. I now have a lung infection for which I usually take azithromycin and prednisone. How do these pills interact? I desperately need to take the antibiotics, and prednisone, SO i WON'T END UP IN THE HOSPITAL. ## There are no interactions found (in the drug databases I checked in) between Bisoprolol and Azithromycin; however, this does not necessarily mean no interactions exist. ALWAYS consult with your doctor or pharmacist. I did check and find that there "are" interactions between Prednisone and Bisoprolol: Corticosteroids (Prednisone) may antagonize the effects of antihypertensive medications (Bisoprolol) by inducing sodium and fluid retention. Patients on prolonged (i.e., longer than about a week) or high-dose corticosteroid...

I ordered azithromycin online and it is a white oval with no imprint. Is this safe? ## If there is no imprint, it is difficult to say what it might be, that is one of the hazards of ordering online. We can rule it out as being a U.S. prescription product, because they are all required to have imprints to enable their identification, but if it's from a foreign source, there is really no way to say. Is anyone familiar with this? ## I ordered the exact same. Did you take them? I'm a little leary.

Will Azithromicina 500 mg work for impacted tooth as well? ## Hi Johnny, From what I could gather, Azithromycin is commonly prescribed for dental related infections. However if the tooth needs to be extracted (perhaps via root canal) due to decay or nerve damage, my understanding is that an antibiotic will only help for so long until you get the necessary procedure(s) done. And to help address your other question about an impacted tooth, Azithromycin fights infections throughout your body and not just one specific area, so it really should cover all basis where an infection is present and not just a single tooth. Have you already gone to the dentist for an evaluation?
