Took my last dose today (day 5) for sinus infection. It's better, but still there. Should I go back to the doctor? Am flying this weekend and want to avoid the ear pain. Since day 1 first dose, I have had the following intermittent symptoms: sharp stomach pains, nausea, headache, strange dreams, insomnia, appetite loss...the stomach pains were the doubled-over kind. Took Z-pac twice before in last 3 years and it worked like a charm with no side effects. Not sure why this round hit me so differently....plus the infection is still there!?

azithromycin (z-pack) -- same as Zithromax? anyway, I have done 2 doses and about to quit. I don't care. this sucks. my stomach hurts a little (not too bad). I don't feel like it's helping my strep throat (possibly flu) at all (this is the MAIN point here). the worst thing is I lost my appetite. before I was really sick with flu, but I still had good appetite. I was doing pretty good taking care of myself... I kinda regret seeing the doctor. I paid him for this? he should pay me. CONCLUSION: main side effect is stomach pain, cramping, loss of appetite, maybe headache (this could be from my flu), and BIGGEST PROBLEM is it doesn't help! what's the point! (just my opinion -- my flu is going away and I assume it's NOT from the antibiotic -- this is a major assumption which every individual must decide for themself).

Zithromax Z-Pak Chemical Information

azithromycin - An azalide, derived from erythromycin, and a member of a subclass of macrolide antibiotics with bacteriocidal and bacteriostatic activities. Azithromycin reversibly binds to the 50S ribosomal subunit of the 70S ribosome of sensitive microorganisms, thereby inhibiting the translocation step of protein synthesis, wherein a newly synthesized peptidyl tRNA molecule moves from the acceptor site on the ribosome to the peptidyl (donor) site, and consequently inhibiting RNA-dependent protein synthesis leading to cell growth inhibition and cell death.
