While Zithromax is generally well-tolerated, some people experience side effects. These vary in severity and frequency.
Common side effects often resolve without intervention. These include:
- Diarrhea Nausea Vomiting Abdominal pain Headache
Less common, but more serious side effects require immediate medical attention. These can include:
- Severe allergic reactions (rash, swelling, difficulty breathing) Jaundice (yellowing of the skin or eyes) Severe abdominal pain Changes in hearing or vision Seizures Irregular heartbeat
Specific considerations for certain individuals:
People with liver problems should discuss the risks with their doctor before taking Zithromax. Patients with a history of heart problems need to be monitored closely. Those with myasthenia gravis should exercise caution.
This list isn’t exhaustive, and your individual experience may differ. Always report any unusual symptoms to your doctor or pharmacist.
