Clarithromycin
tonsillitis/pharyngitis
"I first took this drug 4 and a half years ago for tonsillitis and it was the worst thing I've ever had. Metallic taste in mouth, lack of sleep not to mention the horrific stomach cramps and the fact that I couldn't eat for nearly 2 weeks. Chewing food made me throw up. I lost loads of weight and all the doctors did was give me anti sickness tablets to take along side it. Since then I have had nothing but problems with my gut. I've been on antacids for 2 years now and been suffering with my bowels since taking it. I can't eat pasta without having cramps. I've had a few endoscopies and waiting for a further one. It has taken this time for anyone to take me seriously. I will never take this again!"
