Great! Thanks for watching. All the best.

You are so welcome! Not doing bad on your channel as well. U got some pretty catchy thumbnails.

Thanks. You made me feel at ease and I went ahead and filled my prescription right after watching this. I was a little worried because I don’t like medication and my strep test came back negative even though I was around somebody who has it and I am now sick. She gave this to me instead of penicillin because she said if I end up getting mono, penicillin can be bad for that. But then my mom said Z pack is not good for strep and it looks like Google said it could be weaker or something. Really didn’t want to take it if it had side effects and I don’t have strep but watching this video just made me feel safe and informed And I don’t usually take antibiotics it’s been like six years so I figure it can’t really hurt

You are very welcome.

Hi what was the dosage?

I think you have to take as long period, maybe 14 days duration I'm not a doctor but you can consult you doctor, I'm taking this medicine too, but today is my 5 day's using this, i also feel better in just one day taking it,

Does it affect women in the first trimester?

Azithromycin is classified as FDA Pregnancy category B. This means that In the animal studies, *no evidence of harm to the fetus* due to azithromycin was found. There are, however, *no adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant women* . Because animal reproduction studies are not always predictive of human response, azithromycin should be *used during pregnancy only if clearly needed.*

My pleasure!

@@kimberlyogaino650 You had an STD?

Thanks.

Glad it was helpful! By the way, the recipes on your channel look yum yum. I like the fried fish with the onions & stuff.

This medication may be prescribed for other uses; ask your doctor or pharmacist for more information.

Zpak treats bacteria infections which Covid is NOT. Maybe they gave it to you in case there was bacterial infection

Heart attack is a side effect

Hey Josh, do you have to take any more doses or are you done with the 1g? If you have to take more, I would recommend circling back with the doc. Ringing in the ears after Azithromycin is not very common but can happen. It usually subsides. However, if you have more doses to take, I would recommend erring on the side of caution and checking with your doctor if he wants you to continue with the same medication. All the best.

@@HealthRX i stopped the dosing cycle. I’m hoping this will subside. Do you think it will go away. I had my hearing tested and there’s no hearing loss.

@@HealthRX thank you for your reply. Any opinions advice truly helps.

Me too 😢

I don’t see any reason why not. Best practice is to have some food in the stomach when you take Advil. All the best.

@@HealthRX Thanks for the advice. I did eat before i took the Advil. All the Best too you as well.

Did you ever find out??

@Ayana G Hey can you plz share how did you find help I had 3 azithromycin 1 time a day and now suffering from diarrhea from last 10 days.. plz reply

probiotics

@@shameembudha3320 I had 4 all At once this week and I been having diarrhea as well

​@@shameembudha3320 Hi, did you find some help?

Stop taking them. Sounds like your symptom is due to an allergic reaction to the medication. I know this is an old comment but for anyone who has shortness of breath after taking any medication should stop taking the medication immediately.

yes

Even though it is very rare (0.3%), Tinnitus has been observed during post marketing studies of people taking Azithromycin. Will not be a bad idea to let your doctor know for directions as to the way forward.

@@HealthRX actlly my Ent said this is not the reason of my Tinnitus....but in case it is dan...Hw long it will take to solve???is it tempory or permanent???I dont hv a hearing loss....mild Ringing one ear....

@@pappupaul9206 bro how is your tinnitus im also suffering from the same, did your improve after 1 month

@@biharibatman2941 Hey bro hv faith...First try to c find the cause of Tinnitus......Tinnitus is not a disease its a symtoms.....if you solve the cause you will b fine....tkcre

@@pappupaul9206 im asking how is the ringing did it improve after 1 month cause i took 2 day dose 500mg and developed tinnitus i haven't been able to sleep for two nights bro my ringing is not mild its very bad how much dose did u take

Loss of smell was observed in some people in post marketing studies.

@@HealthRX thanks for the response

I also have numbness and tingling after taking

@@samclub2129 did they go away

OMG I LOST MY SENSE OF TASTE AND SMELL AFTER TAKING AZIR. I’m panicking right now. When will I get my back sense of smell and taste? Does anyone know?

i took two for day one n been taking one for 4 days

I don’t think so. Just continue to take your one day. I also took 2 azithromycin the first day and I am taking 1 for the next 4 days.

Well usually the Z-Pak comes with six tablets you take two the first dose and then one every day until the medicine is done I just took my first two and I'm having bad stomach cramps I'm taking it for a sore throat can't wait for the four following days so I can get this over with 😡 (Update) I just finished my medicine (took it for a sore throat) and probably on the 4th day I started noticing my sore throat go away little by little. It took a week but it's gone and I feel great!!!!! but definitely eat it with something I made the mistake of taking my first dose without eating and cramps were so painful so the next few doses make sure you guys eat what I did was I had ate something waited about 20 minutes took the medicine and then finished eating my food and that really really helped with the cramps

Could anyone tell me if they had any serious side effects. I'm pregnant and was prescribed this

Not sure about taking it during pregnancy

Did you get better
