What Are The Side Effects Of Clarithromycin Dosage?
I m taking clarithromycin for a chest infection. However I m getting strange symptoms such as muzziness in the head, some muscle weakness in the legs, pulse of 70bpm, feeling hot even when I turn the central heating down. It s the strange feeling of being cut off from the world that bothers me the most. I don t want to discontinue the course I m on day three 5 tablets (250g) taken so far but yet I m a little concerned that I might get further side effects or the ones I have may worsen. Also I m working tomorrow afternoon so would like to be a bit sharper than I am now.
