medication question?

[tommy]

have any of you been on azithromycin.  My cf doc thought i should try it, but it would be like $100 copay, so i wonder do you think its worth it.  He said it is used as a anti-inflammatory.........I have no clue

I have started it for the first time this year. My airways were shut down in May & after getting them opened enough to at least be able to talk they tapered me off of the prednisone & put me on zithromax & I personally think it works wonders. I take 1 tablet on Monday, Wednesday & Friday.

I also havent had any belly problems from it either as some people do.

Jazzy, same here. I have been on it for years though. Tommy what kind of insurance do you have? I am still on my dads as a dependant and I also have Mass Health that takes care of co-pays and such.

I think if you have very noticable shortness on breathe, it will help. I have taken it every other day for about a year and I notice nothing. I was just on as a percaution, but as everyone knows, that is probably getting me immune to it by taking it all the time.

Why not ask for some samples. I got a ton when I first started, that way if you don't notice a difference, you aren't out anything.

Zithromax is great! But, my goodness, $100.00 copay?! Have you asked about getting some samples? Maybe you can get enough samples to try it out before you fork out that much money. At least I think its a lot of money for a co pay anyway. Good luck!
