Zithromax

[Guest guest]

Adam:

I too had a bad allergic reation to Zithromax. In fact, I had not

had any rosacea at all until I was prescribed Zithromax for sinus

infection last December. About two hours after taking the first and

only dose my whole face became bright red, burning and very swollen.

I called my doctor and he said that I was having an allergic reaction

and not to take another dose. My face stayed in very bad condition

for about four days. After one month I was still having some red

spots, itching, swelling. My doc diagnosed rosacea and I began

taking Doxycycline and using Metrogel as well as Ketoconazol for my

seb/derm. Now all redness has been gone for several weeks. My face

is looking good other than just a little seb/derm. I'm still taking

the Doxycycline and would like to get off it but am afraid the

rosacea will come back.
