Azythromycin

Those who take azythromycin prophylactic, what do you do when you get a chest infection (my rescue pack has doxycycline in it?)?

I was on Azythromycin for 6 days and it didn't do anything.

yesterday I spend several hours in car with someone who may now have covid, although she’s only presently showing a sore throat. Someone she spent last weekend with has now tested positive. Do I get any protection from the daily dose of Azithromycin 250. I have problem wearing mask as result of broken

Recently diagnosed with Covid, doctor prescribed the above to help with sinus pressure. Should it or azithromycin make RL to kick back up? Thanks

I posted at the weekend about hoping to secure anti virals as I had a significant exposure to covid. As expected I did get covid & feel very ill now. As also expected it’s unlikely I’ll get Paxlovid, despite some strong words with my less than competent GP. She has sent across a script for Azithromycin

Hi everyone, I would just like to have your thoughts on the following.....I was diagnosed with Cutaneous Lupus an Sjogren's Syndrome 8yrs. ago. I was prescribed Hydroxychloroquine 200mg. I also have Bronchiectasis, which is a lung disease and recently have had breathing problems. To cut a long story

I’ve been on 1 daily Azithromycin since 1 December last, worked well, so I’m disappointed to have to start yesterday my rescue pack 750mg Ciprofloxacin, 2 daily for 14 days. Have to recognise though when they’re needed, and keep good supply, fingers crossed work well. I’ll update on progress. May not

I’ve been taking 4 daily of this medication for several years. However last couple of weeks I’m coughing lot and not always able to get up mucus, including after using Aerobika. My physiotherapist says when she listens to chest there are more noises than used to be. The product leaflet says two capsules

Hi, hope you are all well. 😊 Bit of a long story sorry…. I’ve recently seen a new consultant, who is sending me for a ‘mannitol’ challenge test and wondered if anyone else who has similar asthma to me, has had experience of this and what the outcome was. A consultant I saw a couple of years ago,

I expect we all have repeat scripts showing when we can request regular medication, and when it was last issued, the date we can request more, and date when review is due. Most of my items were due for review on Thursday 2 March 2023. However nothing has happened, except with my antibiotic Azithromycin

I finally received copy of my consultant report to my GP re face to face consultation on 3 March. Pleased that Azithromycin I’ve been taking 1 daily since 1 December is doing good job. Sputum sample negative. I’m to carry on taking it, and twice daily Nebulising, using Aerobika as necessary and doing

Good Morning all, just wanted to seek some help from those in the know ( albeit not medically trained). Mum is 94, started going downhill 8 weeks or so ago, tired, more short of breath than normal and sputum hard to clear and change of colour. Started her Co-amoxiclav but 8 days on no improvement so

this is to ask people’s thoughts / experience not a suggestion! Azithromycin works really well. It is in multiple guidelines due to 3 high quality trials showing benefit. The trials only lasted 12 months. Longer term it seems to still help but no proof of this. Perhaps some need to stay on, some could

Some of you will remember my last post this week where I was desperate to reduce my fierce coughing. Doc has changed me from Bevespi to Trimbow, put me on azithromycin for a week, Changed my statin from prevastatin to rosuvastatin and my ppi from omeprazole to Famotidine. Anyway at least he did something

I have had a bad cough due to bronchiectisis for over 3 years. taking carbioisteine and azithromycin .In November this year I got chest infection and was hospitalised (first proper infection in 3 years) I was treated with IV antibiotics for 7 days and then oral for another 5. Once the infection had

Yesterday I saw my consultant and NHS physio in Chest Clinic I last went to 70 years ago, for X-ray that showed my heart on wrong side. I well recall the lady doing X-ray, she was bewildered, asked if I had turned etc., did another X-ray. Now know that I was born with PCD, but was so rare wasnt diagnosed

Recently when visiting asthma specialist I was given Spiriva to try. So far it has caused pain in chest, coughing and tightness in lungs, feeling of vagueness, respiratory rate goes up for hours, and blood pressure goes up, muscle pain, generally not feeling great. I am allergic to one of the preservatives

Hi everyone, Has anyone been on Azithromycin 500 mg. 3X per week? I am particularly interested in hearing if it improved your quality of life and if so, how long did it take to notice an improvement. Also, please share your experience with this. Thanks to all.

Good morning everyone Firstly I just wanted to give a brief update from my last post 3 months ago. I have Bronchiectasis and I also have developed Ulcerative Colitis since that initial diagnosis. At the time it was thought this might have been linked to me taking Azithromycin as a prophylactic for a
