This may not be a complete list of all interactions that may occur. Ask your health care provider if Biaxin may interact with other medicines that you take. Check with your health care provider before you start, stop, or change the dose of any medicine.

How to use Biaxin:
Use Biaxin as directed by your doctor. Check the label on the medicine for exact dosing instructions.
• Take Biaxin by mouth with or without food.
• Biaxin works best if it is taken at the same time each day.
• Continue to take Biaxin even if you feel well. Do not miss any doses.
• Do not miss any doses. If you miss a dose of Biaxin , take it as soon as possible. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular dosing schedule. Do not take 2 doses at once.
Ask your health care provider any questions you may have about how to use Biaxin.
Important safety information:
• Contact your doctor right away if stomach pain or cramps, severe diarrhea, or bloody stools occur. Do not treat diarrhea without first checking with your doctor.
• Biaxin only works against bacteria; it does not treat viral infections (eg, the common cold).
• Long-term or repeated use of Biaxin may cause a second infection. Tell your doctor if signs of a second infection occur. Your medicine may need to be changed to treat this.
• Be sure to use Biaxin for the full course of treatment. If you do not, the medicine may not clear up your infection completely. The bacteria could also become less sensitive to this or other medicines. This could make the infection harder to treat in the future.
• Lab tests, including complete blood counts, may be performed while you use Biaxin . These tests may be used to monitor your condition or check for side effects. Be sure to keep all doctor and lab appointments.

If you think you may be pregnant, contact your doctor. You will need to discuss the benefits and risks of using Biaxin while you are pregnant. It is not known if Biaxin is found in breast milk. If you are or will be breast-feeding while you use Biaxin , check with your doctor. Discuss any possible risks to your baby.
