A member asked:

Azithromycin have my stomach hurting really bad?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Common side effect: Abdominal pain is one of the common side effects seen with azithromycin. Try taking with food and plenty of water to help reduce this problem. If severe abdominal pain persist/ worsened even when when taken with food call your doctor. Also report any watery/blood stools ( with or without fever) as soon as possible. Hope you feel better soon. Take care.
