Hi
Yes,certain antibiotics like azithromycin (Azromax) are associated with muscle cramps.
Azromax are macrolide antibiotics used for infection like sinusitis, bronchitis had associated with side effects like stomach pain, muscles cramps in limited trial persons.
Good do not use the drug, try to use other macrolides like roxithromycin for 3 days. Consult a physician to change the medicine and to get a new prescription.
Try to drink plenty of water and replace body electrolytes with electrolyte supplement, it will be effective in treating muscle cramps.
