Prescribed for tooth abscess.Might do its job; but, I will never know. I have been sick since pill 3 of 40. I want to vomit just to get this stuff out of my system. I called the DDS and pharmacy this morning, ( no recall as yet ) because I can not take any more runs to the bathroom, gas, chest pains and upset stomach.

I took this for a tooth abscess, I immediatly stopped taking it after a day and a half. It caused extreme stomach aches and chest pain and burning. Even if I ate with it, it would still hurt really bad! My mom took it for a UTI and she had the same problems. It makes you very sick! I don't reccomend it to anyone for anything! Azithromycin Z-pack works the best as an antibiotic. This Erythromyc ... Show Full Comment

I was given this medication as a precaution to avoid an infection from a tooth extraction - I should have known when the pharmacy that I have been using for years didn't carry it. They said it's a "very old" medicine. It took 3 phone calls from my pharmicist to find someone who carried it. I had my tooth pulled 5 days ago & my gums are swollen & obviously infected. ...

I have had stomach cramps and headaches for days. I do not recommend this medication.

I started taking it for a wisdom tooth extraction that became infected. After the first day, I noticed small chest pains. By the end of that day I felt as if I had pulled a muscle in my chest, I went to the ER and got checked out, everything was fine, the doctor told me it wasn't because of the antibiotic. It's now the end of the next day and I can hardly breath or move an inch without ... Show Full Comment

By the end of that day I felt as if I had pulled a muscle in my chest, I went to the ER and got checked out, everything was fine, the doctor told me it wasn't because of the antibiotic. It's now the end of the next day and I can hardly breath or move an inch without excruciating pain in my chest and abdomen. As of right now, I am no longer taking these and am more than a little angry with my dentist/pharmacist for prescribing and selling them to me without any warning of these side effects ( there was no information inside the box either ).
