Hi All Don't know what to do.. Been daignosed with Pneumonia, completed 7 days of Amoxicillan 500mg and now on day 4 of Clarithromycin 500mg, and 7 day course of Prednisolone 40mg per day. Like everyone else, the most horrific taste in my mouth tried everything to rid of it. It is Sat night and I am NOT going to take my next dose of Clarithromycin as it is upsetting me so much. I will have to wait until Monday am to speak to my doctor and hopefully he can give me something else. I am still struggling with pneumonia however I will take the risk. The bad taste, and upset tum must be the worst side effects ever what do you all think? The companies surely mus be able to something about this and put us patients out of our misery!!

The taste is awful, so far ive taken 2days of my week's perscription. This is 2x 500mg daily. I feel like im going insane, the taste is so bitter & strong that it is stopping me sleeping =(.

2 weeks ago I had a bad run in with the Doxycycline anti-biotics & now this .. im ready to give in. Im unlucky in the fact I cant have any drugs containing penicillin, but these last lot of anti-biotics are very annoying & unpleasant.
