What Causes Weakness While Taking Clarithromycin For Bronchitis?

I currently have bronchitis and have been prescribed clarithromycin - thinking I might have pneumonia and this drug would cover either or situation. I have been on this for 3-l/2 days and am feeling weaker. I do take my nebulizer about every four hours and Symbicort twice daily.I m wondering if I should be feeling weaker--Is this caused by the bronchitis or possibly the clarithromycin?Thanks so much for any information you can offer me.Eileen Spingola YYYY@YYYY

Hi Clarithromycin may be causing acidity and gastritis. This may be cause of weakness.
Take--Omeprazole 20 twice a day before meals till you are on Clarithromycin.
