[edit] Reactions

When I had a allergic reaction to clarythromicin, I not only broke out in hives, I also had my lips scab up. Anyone know of this happening elsewhere so we can provide a source?

I took klacid on thursday evening,i've taken it again today. i'm not sure,but i hav'nt been sleeping and i can hear voices in my head. im also a bit paranoid, people name calling etc. Could this be related to the drug or am i jus losing it? my mouth is also breaking out in blisters and my nose has a big red rash and swelling slightly. Should i go back to my doctor? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.165.163.63 (talk) 23:04, 28 September 2007 (UTC)


Has anyone noticed the contradiction about HIV in the article? At the beginning of the article, it says it's used in HIV patients to prevent infection, then at the end it says it's almost never used in HIV patients because of drug interactions. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.216.217.174 (talk) 16:24, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

It says "Clarythromycin is almost never used with AIDs patients".... that means if youre going to die of an infection othwerwise, its probably better to at least try the drug.70.75.46.34 (talk) 03:11, 10 February 2008 (UTC) revelations
