I can't sleep last night after taking pacofen together with clarithromycin tablet (antibiotic) for my prolonged fever. I am suspecting that the caffeine in pacofen is keeping me awake. Is this right? If so, I am going to take pacofen only in day time. ## Yes, Caffeine is a stimulant that increases mental alertness and can cause insomnia. Learn more Caffeine details here. To treat a fever, the caffeine and codeine in this medication really isn't necessary. What you need to help break a fever is just the Paracetamol. Learn more Paracetamol details here. Have you consulted your doctor? ## I need your advice please help me, when I took claritromycin I cant sleep, what other alternative as a substitute of this pill?

If the pharmacy don't have clithromyocin what would be a good substitute ## Hi Florence, Based on my research, Clarithromycin is in a group of drugs classified as Macrolide Antibiotics. Below is a list of a couple other medications that are also classified as Macrolide Antibiotics. -Dificid generic name: fidaxomicin -Erythrocin generic name: erythromycin -Zithromax generic name: azithromycin You may be able to use one of the medications I listed as a substitute for Clarithromycin, but they are still different medications and may effect you differently; so to be safe I would consult a doctor or pharmacist before hand. You can learn more about this drug on the page for Clarithromycin Details I hope this helps! ## I found a white oval pill with an E on one side and the other blank. I t...

i am currently using Clacee for my throat infection and it makes me feel extremely hungry all the time. Is this normal? ## Hi, Kylie! How are you doing? Have things gotten any better, yet? And no, that isn't a normal side effect of this antibiotic. Have you consulted your doctor? You should do so, because it can cause some other stomach issues, which you may be mistaking for hunger pangs. Learn more Clacee details here.

large white tablet with letters GG 09 ## I have had cold since christmas coughing alot can't hear pressure in ears, seems like 1,000 bells ringing in ears dr says bacteria infection,congestion in right side of chest, has been 3 days and no change, have not ran fever ## For anyone else seeking such information… The general rule for antibiotics to know if the one you're taking is doing its job is that once you've taken it for a full 24 hours, there shouldn't be any worsening of your infection. And once you've taken it for a full 72 hours (3 days), you should start to see improvement. Learn more Clarithromycin details here.

I am currently using Clacee (500 mg) for a stomach ulcer, but I notice that it gave me a bitter taste, too much itching, and a rash under my shoulder blades. It also gave me too much gas. Are these typical side effects of Clacee? ## Hi Naomi, Based on my research, the following symptoms you had mentioned, are listed as side effects of Clarithromycin (Clacee): itching gas change in taste Ref: nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/druginfo/meds/a692005.html#side-effects NOTE: Itching is categorized as a "severe" side effect that you should report to your doctor immediately.

I have a bitter taste in my mouth, I have been taking this med for 4 days, is this a side effect? I wake up in the night and have such a bitter taste, I brush my teeth, gargle with listerine, but nothing helps. Food doesn't taste right. I have 3 more days, should I continue? ## Ironically enough, "change in taste" is listed word for word as a general side effect of Clarithromycin. I think if it becomes too bothersome or severe, you may want to consider talking to your doctor about any other alternative antibiotics that can replace Clarithromycin for the remaining 3 days. It's likely that it may not go away until you stop taking what's causing it to begin with. You can learn more about this drug on the page for Clarithromycin Details I hope this info helps!

I was prescribed Clarithromycin 14 x 500mg by my doctor at Christmas for a cold that seemed to be developing into a chest infection. I didn't want to be ill during Christmas so I got the prescription dispensed. In the event I didn't need to take it but the flu I now have has developed into a chest infection. Normally I am prescribed 250mg twice daily for 7 days. Could I take 500mg once per day for 7 days or should I cut the 500mg pill and take it as 250mg twice daily. I am concerned about compromising the efficiency of the treatment. Any advice? ## What are the instructions on the prescription? The usual dosing for that type of infection is 500mgs, every 12 hours, for 7 days, which probably explains why he gave you 14 tablets. Learn more Clarithromycin details here. Adjusting it...
