Re: Question for Chris or (Zithromax)

[Guest guest]

My son was on zithromax every day which was decided by our Infectious

Disease Dr. The Pulmonologist didn't mess with the dosage or dosing

because I am not sure what she thought about the zithromax helping his

breathing or not since he is also on Singulair, Pulmicort, Duoneb and

Albuteral as needed. Luckily these 2 drs work in the same building and

across from one another, so maybe there was some discussion that I am

not aware of. But I do know that if we accidentally missed a dose he

would have problems the next morning and need the albuterol. And now

for the last week we have been taken off the Zithromax (still on the

others) and we have had blue lips 2 days in a row now. I have a call in

to see what we can do, but I keep getting a respone to keep him off the

Zithromax. at this point, I really believe it was doing a lot more

than keeping the bacterial infections away over winter!!!! Hope this

helps and what you were looking for.

I know Zithromax, for reasons unknown, has been found to have great

anti inflammitory effects on some people. Especially in the lungs.

That is why Reagon is on it. It sounds like it was working for your

son too!

Thanks,
