Clarithromycin causes upset stomach and others
I noticed diana poster somethig similar at this post [url]http://www.meds-help.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=620[/url] My doctor prescribet Clarinthomycin 2 days ago but after two days of doses (1000 mg once a day) I feel my stomach was upset and everything was just shooting thru. (I'm eating soft things like yogurt and I feel better). Also my dreams started to get weired. I guess I could call them nightmares. In my opinion this medication is too strong. I am arrount thirty and don't remember side-effects on any medicine before. I read in internet that it was prescribed for a twenty years old and I don't think they should. I am sure there are less potent antibiotics for these common infections. I think they can prescribe something less harmful and someone should advise the doctors to prescribe clarithromycin with caution.

Awful taste
I've been taking Clarithromycin for 4 days and cannot wait for the 10th day to come! It has this God-awful after taste like constantly having a mouthful of pennies in your mouth. During the day, I am able to somewhat rid the taste with gum/ candy which I don't normally consume. But at night, I find myself waking up periodically to rinse or brush my teeth because the taste is SOOO bad. Has anyone else had is this bad? How do you deal? I think I would rather have my bronchitis back then have to deal with this.

Clarithromycin
I just joined a University of Rochester; Strong Memorial Hospital Studay on the use of this drug to treat nasal polyps (spelling?). My comment is that I welcome anyone who is interested in messaging on their experiences taking this drug for this reason. I have been diagnosed with Chronic Sinus Itus and Nasal Polyps and will be visiting her now and then to report my progress. 1 dose daily for 4 months. We will see...

Allergic reactions can occur with clarithromycin use. People with a history of allergy, asthma, hay fever or hives seem to be more susceptible to these reactions. The reaction can be immediate and severe. Allergic symptoms include wheezing, hives, itching, swelling, spasms in the throat and breathing tubes, joint and muscle pain, difficulty breathing, fever and skin rashes.
