1. I need to call your health care provider and ask for a different antibiotic.
2. This drug is like erythromycin but has less severe gastrointestinal side effects.
3. You need this medication and will just have to deal with the nausea.
4. I will get a prescription for an antiemetic in case this drug causes vomiting.
