Posted on Thu, 17 Mar 2016
Question: I have a bronchial infection and have been taking Clarithromycin since last Thursday and I last used Simbicore yesterday. I am feeling very strange and am wondering if I'm having a reaction to either of these. I called my doctor but no one has gotten back to me.

Brief Answer:
Adverse effects of clarithromycin. No worries will subside after completion

Detailed Answer:
Thank you for asking

I read your question and i understand your concern. Use of clarithromycin and steroids medications together give a strange nauseating feeling al due to gastric discomfort . This is an adverse effect of these medications but a necessary evil and to be taken to eradicate infection. Just drink plenty of fluids, maintain a good oral hygiene and wait and see. If your gastric discomfort gets out of control then you may request for change of prescription of antibiotic . Its wednesday already, you have been taking it for 7 days now, a few more days to complete the course of antibiotic and then its all gone.

I hope it helps. Take good care of yourself and don't forget to close the discussion please.
