I got Zithromax prescribed to me today, but I've got this awful fear of taking prescription pills. What can I do to ease my fears?

My doctor already knows about my little phobia, but there's really no way around the pills in this one.

Take them, then go do something so you won't dwell on taking them.

Zithromax is an antibiotic. To ease your fears either talk with your doctor, or compare the symptoms you went to the doctor with to your fear of the pills. You know what the disease will do. Pill reactions and all those nasty things are slim to none. You'd more likely get hit by lightening than have a serious side effect from a prescription...esp a tested one

I wasn't waiting to swollow any variety of pill till i replace into 15. i could placed it on the tip of my toungue... yet I only could no longer do it. My grandmother could ought to cut them up and placed them on a spoon and that i could swollow it that way with water. i think this is only as effective in case you do this rather of swollowing the finished pill. To on the present time I also have a stressful time with fairly great pills. i assume in case you are trying it adequate ultimately it only is going down. don't be worried or something... only prepare till you get it.

You are sick and you should trust the doctor in what you need to get better. Take the pills as prescribed until they are totally gone OR you could get what is called "rebound" and get sicker.
If you are that concerned you should have told the doctor!

It is very normal to have this fear many people have this phobia my advice to you is to give it your best shot to swallow (or gulp) it down as fast as you can with a good amount of water and it will go right down no fear at all good luck

Zithromax is a frequently prescribed antibiotic. take it as prescribed. It probably won't have any side effects, it didn't for me or for my daughter.

Azithromycin is in a class of drugs called macrolide antibiotics. Azithromycin fights bacteria in the body.
Azithromycin is used to treat many different types of bacterial infections, such as bronchitis, pneumonia, tonsillitis, skin infections, ear infections, and sexually transmitted diseases. I wouldn't be scared to take it i would be scared what would happen to you if you don't! Your doctor gave it to you for a reason right?

Take them if you want to feel better, although you could ask for a liquid form, that medication comes in that form.
