The information I was given didn't list insomnia as a side effect, but I have experienced a terriable case of insomnia only after taking this medicine for 2 days. I wouldn't let the Dr. give me Levaquin for the sinus infection because of the insomnia side effect, but this is just as bad!! I will stop taking it and see if I can get some rest this weekend!!!!! Another on my list of medications to NOT take!!!

Today is day five of 14 on Biaxin for a severe sinus infection. I have had NO side effects other than the bad taste in my mouth and chewing mint gum relieves that.

Biaxin Chemical Information
clarithromycin - A semisynthetic 14-membered ring macrolide antibiotic. Clarithromycin binds to the 50S ribosomal subunit and inhibits RNA-dependent protein synthesis in susceptible organisms. Clarithromycin has been shown to eradicate gastric MALT (mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue) lymphomas, presumably due to the eradication of tumorigenic Helicobacter pylori infection. This agent also acts as a biological response modulator, possibly inhibiting angiogenesis and tumor growth through alterations in growth factor expression. (NCI04)
