Hi there,
Thanks for using HCM.
Zithromax contains azithromycin.
Some of the side effects of azithromycin are stomach upset, nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain.
So the abdominal pain you have could bedue to taking azithromycin. You can take prilosec for relief.
Discuss with your doctor about the thickening of the stomach wall. It could be due to simple inflammation or a serious malignancy.

I hope that answers your query.
Regards.
