| 5 | Severe sinus ifection | After 1st dose, day one, an odd light headed, dizzy feeling with rapid movement, standing, turning head. | Overall, helping me get over this infection, but the medication makes me have to stay close to home | F | 47 | 3 days | 2/24/2007 | 5 | sinus infection | light diarrhea but not enough to warrant not taking it again. | I have chronic sinusitis from allergies, but one time it got very severe. My doctor gave me Cipro, didn't work, then after having an allergic reaction to Tequin my doctor gave me Cefzil. The sinus infection that had gone on for months causing a great deal of anquish and scorching pain with every breath was made clear within a day of taking it. After taking the full course, I felt alive again. It's helped cure two more severe sinus infections I've had over the last few years. It really works better than anything else with me. | F | 36 | 10 days | 11/10/2006 | 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 | Dog bites , to prevent infection | Only side effect I have noticed so far is extreme tiredness! It is very apparent, where I will feel fine and then take Cefzil, and and 20-30 min later I can barely keep my eyes open. Its harder to wake up in the morning too, since I started this. Only day 5 today, hope my symptoms don't get worse like most of you are saying!!! Plus I am allergic to penicillin and I know this is in the same family, so, we will see. | Bites are healing with no infection and feel fine other than being so tired after taking. | F | 25 | 10 days 250 mg 2X day | 5/7/2014 | 4 | throat infection | A bit of anxiety, but nothing bad. Nothing to fear unless your allergic to penicillin. No diarrhea, but take probiotic 4-6 hours after dose. | Took care of the infection by day 3-4. Only downside is that 10days is long. Would take again if ever diagnosed with infection. | M | 35 | 10 days 500mg 2X day | 6/14/2012 | 4 | Infected Lymph Nodes | Horrible Yeast Infection | F | 31 | 6 days | 12/19/2009 | 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 | possible strep throat | Taking 500 mg twice a day; lower back & stomach cramps; bladder sensitivity | Throat feels about 75% better after 2 pills (1 day). | F | 37 | 1 days | 12/10/2005 | 4 | low grade temp 4 days, weak, tired | Taking 250 mg twice per day for 10 days. Feel slightly floaty like I'm on medication. No other noticeable symptoms. I think drainage from congestion is going to my lungs, so hoping this med will continue to fight that potential infection. | F | 42 | 10 days | 10/13/2005 | 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 | 4 | poss strep throat | hives entire body & face | F | 9 | 7 days | 7/24/2005 | 4 | sinus infection | I had nausea,fatigue and developed a yeast infection | F | 37 | 10 days | 4/10/2005 | 3 | Server sinus infection | Server joint pain also pain lower left side heart beat under bottom of rib cage,upper lip feels weird and crazy headaches at night | I'm kind of worried as I do have major health issues I hope this ain't going to screw me up even more I also hate going to hospital because when I go it's always to the trauma department!!! | M | 45 | 5 days 500 mg x2 | 10/10/2016 | 3 | severe sinus infection | Day three on antibiotic, haven't noticed anything other than extreme fatigue which could be from being sick. Hoping it goes well.. | F | 24 | 10 days 500ml | 3/19/2015 | 3 | Bronchitis/ Sinus infection | Extreme tiredness ,nausea and headache . | The infection seems to have gone but the side effects are horrible ! | F | 46 | 10 days 500 MG 2X day | 12/21/2014 | 3 | Sinus infection | Extreme moodiness,hyper | F | 39 | 10 days 250mg | 7/22/2013 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 3 | sinus infection | first meds didnt work so perscriped cefzil.Almost done & daughter has been feeling ill, headaches daily, anxiety, tired, moody. Other symptoms are better. | When very young experienced a rash with this medicine. Dr. wanted to try again since it was in the second family of penicilin. I am discontinuing & not finishing this medicine. Has any one else have the anxiety & moodiness? | F | 16 | 14 days 250mg 2X day | 3/15/2011 |
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)
