Contact your doctor immediately if you experience any allergic reaction, such as rash, hives, swelling, or difficulty breathing. These are serious signs requiring immediate medical attention.
Severe Symptoms or Lack of Improvement
Seek medical advice if your sinus infection symptoms worsen or don’t improve after 72 hours of taking Biaxin, or if you develop new symptoms like severe headache, high fever (over 101°F), or vision changes. These could indicate a more serious condition requiring different treatment.
Side Effects
Report any concerning side effects to your doctor. This includes but is not limited to diarrhea (particularly if severe or bloody), nausea and vomiting that are persistent, abdominal pain, jaundice (yellowing of the skin or eyes), or unusual fatigue. Prompt reporting helps manage potential complications.
Medication Interactions
Inform your doctor of all medications, supplements, and herbal remedies you’re taking. Biaxin interacts with some drugs, potentially causing adverse effects. This proactive approach ensures safe and effective treatment.
Pre-existing Conditions
Discuss any pre-existing medical conditions, such as liver or kidney disease, before starting Biaxin. These conditions can influence how your body processes the medication and increase the risk of side effects.
