Short answer: Abdominal pain and diarrhea are known side effects of Z Pak (azithromycin)
Detailed answer: It is not advisable to discontinue an antibiotic after taking 3 doses, as it is one of the most important reasons for emergence of resistant bacteria. I would suggest you to take the tablet with food to reduce stomach upset along with plenty of fluids.
Hope this answers your query. Thank you.
