    I have a depressed immune system so anything I catch often turns into a major event. Fortunately this doesn't happen but maybe twice a year. If I can't beat whatever has me down in 3-4 days I call for a Z-Pak. I have been using Z-Paks for many years and for me it is a life saver! Never had any side effect. This stuff is a miracle drug for me, a set of magic pills.

All the generic brands burned my stomach and made me sick to my stomach.I woul ... Show Full Comment
