azithromycin

Zithromax, known generically as azithromycin, is an antibiotic used to treat a variety of skin, respiratory and sexually transmitted diseases.

Aside from the potential of a serious allergic reaction, Zithromax may cause:

• diarrhea that is watery or bloody
• chest pain, uneven heartbeats
• nausea, stomach pain, low fever, loss of appetite, dark urine, clay-colored stools, jaundice (yellowing of the skin or eyes).

Medical experts caution consumers not to combine Zithromax with over-the-counter health products because the combination may cause serious health problems. These OTC products might include certain vitamins, minerals, herbal products and drugs prescribed by a doctor.
