I've known some people who had a bad reaction to it but not heart-related. It's been very effective for me. I'm allergic to penicillin so usually when a doctor prescribes antibiotics I ask for the Z-pack unless they feel I need something stronger, so they put me on doxycycline.

When my oldest son was 8 the pediatrician wrote him a prescription for Zithromax.  As instructed, he took one after dinner and within 30 or so minutes he came into my office and said "Mommy, something is wrong with my mouth." When I looked up both his upper and lower lips were huge! I was horrified but didn't want to freak him m out.  I called pediatrician, was told immediately stop giving him the medication (duh, it only took 1!!) and to give him Benadryl which would help with the swelling - oh and my dh or I would need to check in on him through the night in case the swelling resumed.

    Just always seems to be something....I am allergic to several antibiotics...penicillin, ceclor, cipro etc. So Z pack is usually what I get!!
