I tried it for a while, but found the side-effects not worth it. I am also not convinced of its effectiveness for an anti-inflammatory, which is the goal when taken 3x/week.

My son has taken it 3x a week since April and it has made a big difference for him. He has a lot of trouble with his small airways and this has really seemed to help with the inflamation. It was a better choice for him before trying the ibuprofin. His pft numbers are much better and he says he can feel the difference.

I take it too, 3x a week. They put me on it as an antibiotic, and research shows that it may help with inflamation too.
I notice my Pfts are more stable. but no miracles though.

I take it daily...I have been for several years. I dont know what effects it really has on my though...I can't say as though I feel any different by taking it. And when I am low on money and run out of it for a bit, I cant say as though I feel any worse when off of it. I always thought of it as a preventative antibiotic. I have had some issues with getting prescriptions filled for it though...I dont think many people take this daily for 3 months...sometimes they send me a weeks worth instead.

DS's doctor has all his patients on it. Says it helps prevent whooping cough and HIB, among other things. From what I've read on it -- helps with inflammation, increases lung function and helps with weight gain.

I take it Mon, Wed & Fri starting last year just before coming off of prednisone. I was put on it to help with inflammation. I dont have any real side affects. I also cant tell what benefits are from the zithromax & what is from the pulmicort which also was thrown into the mix at the same time.
