1 | 1X day | 5/20/2013 | 1 | sinus infection | bad cramps and diarrhea, horrible yeast infection | F | 8 days | 6/11/2005 | 2 | possible strep throat | hyper activity; difficultly sleeping | M | 2 | 1 days | 3/1/2006 | 2 | Ear infection | Vomiting,Diahorrea,Fever, | M | 2 | 4 days | 1/28/2007 | 1 | tonsilitis | My son was put on this antibiotic for a 3rd round of tonsillitis in 4 mths, he was fine for the first 8 days and then after his first dose on the 9th day that evening he started to vomit and while he was vomiting he would have a red hivey rash that would disappear after he finished throwing up, I have noticed he doesn't drink as much the last day or so and he has decreased urine output. I am scared he is only 21/2 yrs old. | M | 2 | 10 days 250MG 2X day | 12/19/2013 | 1 | sinus infection uti | Hives | My 2 yr took this medicine in march. After 7 days she broke out in hives. The dr said it was from a virus. We just took this drug again last week after 7 days she broke out in hives from head to toe. They then formed huge patches all over her. We are on day 3 of benadryl as the hives go away and the benadryl wears off more hives come. | F | 2 | 7 days 3 ml 2X day | 8/19/2013 | 1 | Pneumonia | My son started taking this after azithromax did nothing. After the second dose on the first day he had a massive bloody nose and started throwing up. The second night woke up throwing up again. Third morning had horrible diarrhea gave him a dose and he threw up again. He refuses to eat so that' makes everything worse. I called the doc and they basically said too bad that's what happens with a strong antibiotic. I try to give probiotics but he refuses. It is only day 3 and I am scared of how long this will continue. I can hardly get him to drink water. I have to say his cough has gotten much better. | M | 2 | 10 days 1tsp 2xd | 12/2/2012 | 1 | Second ear infection in two months | HUGE RASH ALL OVER HIS BODY HEAD TO TOE. | It has been three days since he has been off this horriable antibotic and the rash is a bit worse so I am worried of course even though the doctor said it a reaction from the medicine. They put him back on augmentim and I just gave him his first dose so I hope it doesnt make it even worse. Rash looks so bad. I hate this! Rash started day 7. | M | 2 | 7 days 250mg x2 | 2/9/2017 | 1 | ear infection | severe itching, rash, severve hives on torso legs arms, tops of feet, esecially under arms, back and neck | Doc rec benadryl to combat the alergic reaction and to notify my child's pharmacist that he cannot take Cefzil | M | 3 | 7 days | 12/9/2008 | 1 | sinus infection and other | We gave my daughter the first dose as soon as we got home and fed her a small meal. Within an hour or two of taking it she went into a hard seizure. She has never had a seizure ever.She was still in it when we got to the hospital which was only 5 minutes away. That was 3 years ago and we steer clear of all ceflaspore products. | M | 4 | 1 days | 12/24/2006 | 1 | tonsilitis | took 250 mg twice daily..Severe itchy rash all over the body after 8 days of use | M | 4 | 8 days | 1/13/2005 | 2 | ear infection | vomitting and nausea | stopped taking early due to side effects | M | 5 | 3 days | 10/10/2008 | 1 | Ear infection in my daughter | After one dose my 5 1/2 year old daughter was extremely irritable , crying easily , not even going to take the 2nd dose . Asked the dr to switch it . | The same thing happened 2 months ago she was also prescribed cefzil for an ear infection and I didn't pick up on it til we were a week into the medication but she acted the same way for 10 days . I will never use cefzil again ...... | F | 5 | 250mg 2X W | 1/20/2012 | 5 | strep throat | Vomiting after the first dose, more likely due to high fever or the aweful taste of the oral suspension. | After two doses and a good night sleep the fever of 103 was gone in the morning and only a slight sore throat remains. Very satisfied with the speed of relief of symptoms. | F | 6 | 1 days | 11/3/2006 | 4 | post-H1N1 pneumonia | ANXIETY!!! Effective, but definite nervousness noted! | Cleared up 6 year old's pneumonia really well, but he developed anxiety "I'm scared" was the refrain from about day 3 thru day 10. (I noticed by mother also became anxious when on the same med a few months ago) | M | 6 | 10 days | 11/16/2009 | 4 | strep throat | my grandson became very hyper on the 2nd day. Today is the 3rd day. Seven to go! I don't see where anyone else listed this as a side effect. | M | 6 | 10 days | 8/21/2005 | 3 | Child's ear infection | no side effects until last day of course. He broke out in rash and hives all over his body. Continues to break out now, every day and we are 8 days PAST his last day of the course. Doctor and pharmacist say it can't be Cepzil that is now causing chronic hives and itching every day--but we have changed NOTHING in his diet and/or anything in his environment. Will NEVER allow my child to be given this medication again. | M | 6 | 10 days 1 tsp. 2X day | 5/27/2013 | 3 | Child's ear infection | My daughter is allergic to penicillin, so cefprozil is considered a safe alternative. today was a 7th day of 10 day course when she developed severe hives all over body as soon as she woke up. No more of this medicine for her from now on, she had been taking Benadryl and as soon as it wears off more hives are coming and itching, joint pain. Doc said it will probably be the case for the next few days until this cefzil is out of the system completely. Doc said if it gets worse to come back ASAP. | I was warned by my daughters doctors in the past that 10percent of people with penicillin allergy develop allergy to cephalosporin antibiotics. | F | 6 | 7 days 2X day | 7/12/2013 | 3 | pneumonia | My daughter is on day four of her prescription. So far, the only side effect I've noticed is increased moodiness - generally unhappy mood. She gets upset more easily and cries more easily. | F | 6 | 3 days 250 mg/5ml 2X day | 4/13/2011 | 2 | ear infection | rash/hives | F | 6 | 10 days | 1/25/2005 |
CEFZIL (CEFPROZIL): Cefprozil is used to treat a wide variety of bacterial infections. This medication is known as a cephalosporin antibiotic. It works by stopping the growth of bacteria. This antibiotic treats only bacterial infections. It will not work for viral infections (such as common cold, flu). Using any antibiotic when it is not needed can cause it to not work for future infections. FDA Approval Date: 1991-12-23 (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)
