So my insurance won't pay for Brand Name Zithromax anymore. So now I am on generic. When I was on generic the last time I got REALLY REALLY sick, my lung function went way down. It went from mid 80's to high 60's.
We aren't sure if it was specifically due to that, but that is what the doctors all agreed with.
I've read a lot of different sites that say it isn't good for a CFer to take Generic Zithromax, but I can't find any places that tell me why it isn't good for us to take it.
Can anyone help me please? I really need to get this resolved somehow.

I would love to see which sites say generic zithromax isn't good for CFer's. generic digestive enzymes are not, but generic zithromax i have never heard of.

Active ingredients are identical - some of the inactive ingredients may be different, varying by manufacturer.

You can always apply to Pfizer's patient assistance program for zithromax and they can give you co-pay assistance or even free meds based on your situation.
