Zithromax = Awesome

Zithromax! Hey-yo!

It was an awesome day the day I found out about an online version of a free and really trusted mobile drug & formulary guide. I think the Bulls won that day. The damn thing used to be more than 500K awesome healthcare professionals. Pretty crazy right?

There is drug information that you can access through this mayne! Dosing, pricing, potential drug interactions and Medicare Part D formulary coverage are all on there too. Boo-yah! Check out this guy, he's been using their "products on my PDA for years and find them indispensable to my practice. I think it is wonderful that my colleagues and staff that don’t yet use a PDA can now access the same information online to help them improve patient care." His name? Jacob Wood, MD, assistant professor at the UAB Selma Family Residency Program. Awesome, the product includes formulary information for more than 130 health plans! Alright...but here's tha kicka!

This isn't to mention, not even to speak about, hundreds of Medicare Part D formularies! Even this one guy, Wood, says “I encourage all healthcare professionals to use Epocrates products via the Internet or a PDA. They are such a valuable resource and convenient tool that once you try it, you won’t know what you ever did without them.” Now if that isn't awesome, why, then call me Mr. Lame! Clinicians can even subscribe to this thing called, "premium product." Its got like, content and features and stuff for like more than four-hundred alternative medicine monographs, patient education handouts, pill pictures, pill identifier and hundreds of medical tables and calculations.

Isn't that the ish??? San Mateo, CA is where the magic happens. They are going to transform the practice of medicine with all of these, really sweet, leading-edge technologies that enable communication man. All in all, they have shown a positive impact on patient safety, healthcare efficiency and patient satisfaction.

Fun Fact: they were 257 in the 24th annual Inc.500 ranking of the fastest-growing private companies in the country.! Hoo-ah!

My name is Wesley Brown and i would like to show you my personal experience with Zithromax.

I am 45 years old. Have been on Zithromax for 2 days now. I took this drug (generic azithro 500 mg bid) to get rid of an 2+ week old sinus infection that did not clear with decongestants and antihistamines. The drug made a substantial difference within 2 days. I'm a physician and needed to return to work, and the tiredness was just excessive, so I stopped the drug after 48-72 hours. The infection did not return. I would take this drug again if I needed to kill off an infection. I don't expect to feel good all the time. If a drug is making me healthy in a particular way, it's up to me to weigh that benefit against the cost of side effects.

I have experienced some of these side effects -
Fatigue. I just didn't want to move or get out of bed while on the drug; it was a bit hard to figure out that this was an effect of the medication rather than the sinusitis. Otherwise I was fine.

I hope this information will be useful to others,
Wesley Brown
