Clarithromycin
"I went to the doctor having hard breathing, weakness, aching, headaches, and a nasty cough. I had it 3 days before going in. I was prescribed Clarithromycin "Biaxin XL" 500mg x2 per day. Taking it with my morning meals I started feeling better after 2 days. The cough and 100 deg temp stayed until day 4 I woke up soaked in sweat. Here I am 8 days later, I feel better but the cough still remains and I'm hacking up clear thick liquid. I have enough pills for 4 more days so I will write a re-review once it has taken its course. It most defiantly helped. I did not taste any metallic taste nor did I get diarrhea. I do get a loopy sensation about an hour after taking it witch lasts for approximately 10 hours. They also prescribed me a cough syrup and codeine."
