If you experience any of the following, stop taking Zithromax and seek immediate medical help:
- Severe allergic reactions: These can manifest as difficulty breathing, swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat, or hives. Call emergency services immediately. Prolonged QT interval: This is a heart rhythm abnormality. Symptoms can include dizziness, fainting, or a rapid heartbeat. Contact your doctor at once. Severe stomach pain: Intense abdominal pain, accompanied by vomiting or diarrhea, requires prompt medical attention. Jaundice (yellowing of the skin or eyes): This can signal liver problems. Consult your doctor immediately. Severe headache or vision changes: These may be signs of a serious neurological issue. Get medical help without delay. Hearing loss or ringing in the ears (tinnitus): This necessitates immediate consultation with a healthcare professional.
Less serious side effects are common, including nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, and abdominal cramps. These usually resolve on their own, but contact your doctor if they persist or worsen. Remember to inform your doctor about all medications you are currently taking, including over-the-counter drugs and supplements, to minimize potential drug interactions.
