Clarithromycin (500mg) for facial pain
I was given this and I've got bad side effects, palpitations, deafness, and I stopped after one week because I was having such bad palpitations. I thought I was having a heart attack.

Clarithromycin (500mg) for bronchitis
This was prescribed to me as 2 x 500 mg and straight away I started coughing up phlegm and I had a metallic taste in my mouth. Three days of taking 100 mg a day and my tongue started to bleed, so I stopped immediately and went to see the GP.

Clarithromycin (250mg) for pneumonia
After a few days of taking this medicine, I could no longer smell or taste anything. I still haven't got those senses back either. My GP said it could be a side effect. Is there anyone else who has experienced these side effects?
