What Causes Severe Headache And Dizziness While On Clarithromycin?
i have been prescribed clarithromycin 500 mg at 2 per day for 10 days as the doctor believed I have strep throat. I have been taking them since Saturday. last night I had severe headache and today, I ve been doppy/drowsy/dizzy all day....not sure if I should seek emergency help
Hello.. Yes that could be due to a side effect of clarithromycin If the problem is not severe dont worry continue taking it. Avoid works which need attention like driving cycling etc. If the problem persists or is very severe approach your doctor for further management
