Just curious,  have any of you guys had any chest pain caused by taking Zithromax?   :thx;

No pain, but I usually get a dry cough when I take it.  I'm fairly limited on the antibiotics I can take, so I put up with it.

i have had no issues with Zithromax myself.  I have taken it a few times and it seemed to do the trick without any side effects that I could tell.

I never had any issues with it.  In my case it was given a few times when my chest catheter entrance/exit site started to become inflamed.  None of those episodes ever progressed to any sort of bad infection, probably because the zithromax stopped it.
