Side effects to Zithromax

2018-09-29 13:13:16
I’ve been on Zithromax for 5 days. My doctor put me on it for a lower respiratory infection. I’ve been feeling slightly better, but I keep feeling lightheaded and dizzy. I took my last dose today. I think the medicine is making me feel this way. Should I see a doctor? Thanks.
