Zithromax

I usually take my zithromax on an empty stomach and you'd think by now that I've learned my lesson, but I haven't. Anyways, I was wondering if this happens to anyone else. Every time i take it (without food) I get EXTREMELY nauseous , and I have these weird pains in my stomach. They feel like the sharp gas pains, but I don't think the zithro would cause gas pains, so I don't really know what they are, I just know that when I take it, I'm usually doubled over in pain.

happens to me to. it even happens with food and with half the dose. the pain absolutely cripples me so i cant take it, which is a shame. azithromycin makes the stomach contract and empty quicker than it should, causing pain.

i should add, if you still get a bit of pain when taking it with food, take half a tablet everyday instead of 1 tablet every 3 days. sometimes taking that whole tablet is just too much for some.

I have learned my lesson too. If I take it without food, I'm completely nauseous and feel horrible. What I do now is always take it after dinner. That way my stomach is full and I have the night to sleep off any discomfort. If I take it during the day, even after food, i usually feel gross.

I have always taken mine at night just before bed. I used to take two Mon Wed Fri, but found that I was always nauseated so I swtiched it to one everyday. It seems to work better for me this way. I dont have to take mine with food either. So maybe ask your Dr to change it to this regimine to see if it helps you too. The effectiveness of the meds when I take it this way seems to be better too. Just a thought.
