| 1 | Sore throat | Terrible abdominal cramps, watery diarrhea, inability to sleep!! | I was prescribed cefdinir for a lingering sore throat. After taking 4 pills in two days I knew I had to stop. My sore throat felt better, but it completely messed up my digestive track!! I called the doctor and said that I could not finish the prescription. They said that it was OK to stop...that they had had many other patients who had bad reactions with this particular medication. I've been off the cefdinir now for two days and I still have watery diarrhea. I'm hoping I can get my intestines back in order! I would never EVER take this stuff again, this "poison" should be taken off the shelves!! Wish I had seen this site before I had ingested even one of those nasty pills. Here's hoping all of us are able to make a full and speedy recovery from this stuff!! God Bless!! | M | 65 | 2 days 300mg | 5/20/2017 | 1 | Sinus infection | Only pretty scary rapid heartbeat when I was taking it but the issues started 2 weeks after I stopped and still have not stopped now a month later: on and off heartburn every couple of days that lasts a day and I have gone entire nights without sleeping, bad anxiety attacks, sporadic diarrhea, chills, lower back pain and pain behind my shoulder blades, burning sensations on and off around my rib cage, on and off rapid heartbeat so bad I ended up in the ER. My doctor referred me to gastro and he is going to check for C Dif bacteria because apparently antibiotics can cause it etc but will also do endoscopy and colonoscopy to rule out other stuff. But the more I read here, the more I think it's not even C Dif but prolonged reaction to this drug. I read on another site where side effects which seem to vary per person can last up to 3 months. | Would never take it again. Had my doctor officially add it as a drug allergy for me. | F | 42 | 10 days 1X D | 4/7/2017 | 1 | Sinus infection | Constant diarrhea, upper abdominal pain. | I only took 3 doses and still 24 hours after last dose, I am still having diarrhea. | F | 40 | 2 days 2X D | 4/1/2017 | 3 | sinus infection | Terrible diarrhea. Stomach pain and lack of appetite. | Generic cefdinir. It seems to have cleared up the sinus infection, but I would not wish the diarrhea on my worst enemy. | F | 45 | 10 days | 3/27/2017 | 2 | Ear infection (otitis media) | Upset stomach, extreme hand/arm/leg pain, headache, etc. | M | 4 | 10 days 5.5 mL/1x | 3/23/2017 | 1 | Ear infection | Severe diarrhea from day one Loss of appetite, back pain. Vaginal itching was horrible and continued to get worse the longer I was on the cedinir. Was suppose to take for 10 days by the 8th day the headaches set in and leg n Shinn pain. So I stopped taking it and the itching has gotten worse headache has continued as well. Now I'm experiencing bleeding accompanied with the vaginal itching. This is horrible. I'm 51 and post menapausal.would not recommend this drug to anyone | Never take unless u want the feeling of death. | F | 51 | 8 days 300mg | 3/23/2017 | 1 | sinus infection | Horrible anxiety.. Could not eat.. Stopped having bowel movements. Feet swelled.. Mental confusion. Forgot everything. Stomach pain.. No sleep. Dizzy disoriented. Whole body seemed to shut down. Gastritis. You name it nothing worked. | I actually thought I was dying. Could not remember anything. still trying to get over weak and not well. Dangerous drug. Never should have taken it.. I am not well yet from it. it ruined my health for now and I'm still trying to get rid of all it did to me.. DANGEROUS... | F | 68 | 5 days 300 mg 2X D | 3/23/2017 | 1 | bronchitis | I went from being a happy go lucky person to feeling depressed,heart racing as if anxiety,extreme headache and no appetite etc. I stop taking this man made drug and turned to a holistic and natural ways of healing the body. | I discontinued and gather information on treating illness using herbs and going on natural health sites and YouTube for alrernative ways.I hope whoever read this it will help. Synthetic drugs are killing people as well as causing major side effects we have the power to heal ourselves by utilizing fruit, vegetables we must educate ourselves on alternative natural supplements etc. I healed myself through juicing and garlic which is a powerful natural antibiotic. | F | 50 | 4 days 300mg | 3/18/2017 | 1 | Sinus infection | Started this medication for a sinus infection after others didn't clear it up. Noticed after 2 days a rapid heart rate,extreme exhaustion, weakness,shortness of breath, complete loss of appetite,depression,feeling pounding of heart beat in my head. Over all feeling like I just wanted to die I've never in my life felt like this or had side effects like these. I literally thought I was going crazy and had confusion as well on this drug. | This medication should be taken off the shelf at the pharmacy and not given to anyone! After reading reviews 8 days later I've realized it's all coming from this med. It going in the trash! Hope this review helps others out as well. | 42 | 8 days | 3/18/2017 | 5 | Not supposed to take tums with this | F | 1 days | 2/12/2017 | 2 | Strep throat | Red-colored stools a day or two into treatment. On day 8 (or I suppose night 8), I woke up with a pressure in my chest that radiated into my back. Thought it was heartburn, so I took a few tums and fell back asleep after an hour. Went to work the following day only to leave early as the pressure had returned with a vengeance. I was in so much pain that the only thing that would buffer the pain was doubling over. Went to the ED and ended up getting worked up for atypical chest pain. Started on Prilosec twice a day at 31 years old... I will never take Omnicef again. | Additionally, my WBC was elevated. | F | 31 | 10 days Don't reca | 1/17/2017 | 5 | Uti | None | I'm allergic to many drugs. Was on amoxiclav then cirpo to no avail. This drug helped me feel better in two days. Miracle drug. | F | 54 | 10 days 300 mg | 10/31/2016 | 2 | sinusitis | Pronounced body aches, especially in shoulders, arms, and legs. Some dizziness and ringing in ears. | M | 68 | 21 days 300MG 2X D | 10/8/2016 | 5 | None | Only drug that will cure my sinus infections. amoxicillin, nothing else works. I suffer NO SIDE effects from this drug. Relieves unrelenting, super excruciating pain from sinus infection. Using amoxicillin alone would land me in the emergency room. This is the ONLY DRUG that cures my excruciating sinus infections! | F | 1X D | 9/16/2016 | 1 | Sinus infection | Horrible burning stomach pain. Nausea. Felt like throwing up. | Would never take again. | F | 57 | 7 days 50 mg | 8/22/2016 | 1 | Kidney Infection | Persistent Diarrhea, Nausea, Rapid Heart Beat., Sweating, etc Reported to Doctor who let me terminate after 5 days of pills (10) but the side effects continued, - felt sicker than before taking the pills. I would never take this Rx again - NEVER | This is an awful drug - with dreadful side effects | F | 71 | 5 days 300 mg 2X D | 8/21/2016 | 4 | chronic sinus infection | tired | This medication is great. Only thing that worked for my sinus infection. 2 other stints on other antibiotics would not even touch it. No diarrhea, no yeast infection. Now I will say that I took a lot of probiotics while on this medication. All females should take probiotics while on any antibiotics as it keeps the yeast build up at bay. Im sure it also helped with the regulation of the diarrhea. | F | 34 | 21 days 300 2X D | 6/24/2016 | 1 | Sinus Infection Kidney Infection | Nausea, Foggy Feeling, Lower Back pain, Anxiety, Diarrhea, Mucus in stool. total loss of appetite | I took the generic version of this drug Cefdinir for a combination of a sinus infection and a kidney infection. I noticed improvement on both infections within one day. By the end of my seven day run on this drug my infection symptoms seemed to be gone, with only a bout of anxiety on the 3rd day. Also on the fifth day kind of lost my appetite a little. Things stayed like this through the rest of the prescription until the last day. That's when everything seemed really foggy, and I just really felt drained of energy. This set off a pretty bad panic attack. Also had horrible back pain (Lower.) Diarrhea intensified on the 1st day after completing prescription. I am now 4 days after completing the 7 day round of this antibiotic and all the symptoms remain besides the anxiety. My description of events does not do the discomfort I have been feeling from this drug justice. I would never take this drug again or suggest it to anyone. Tomorrow will be 5 days after finishing this crap and I still feel like death. | M | 42 | 7 days 300 MG 2X D | 5/30/2016 | 1 | sinusitis | Excruciating stomach pain. Intense crawly itchiness, deathlike feeling, heart palpitations, depression, consistent headaches nausea diarrhea | Worst ever. Immobilized. | F | 35 | 5 days | 5/17/2016 | 1 | Strep Throat | Extreme nausea, can not keep medicine down | I can literally not keep the medicine down, can only throw it up, causes extreme nausea. This drug should be taken off the market! | F | 10 | 10 days | 5/14/2016 | 1 | Sinus Infection | Although the medication has seemed to make the sinus infection subside, I have had a severe headache for the past 7 days I have been on it. I have a pounding sensation in the back of my head and no Advil Tylenol etc is helping to make it stop. The few times it did subside the pounding in the back of my head was replaced with a migraine in the front on the left side. This drug has made me feel awful and I am dreading taking it for three more days. | F | 21 | 7 days 30 MG | 4/27/2016 | 5 | bronchitis and pneumonia | slighly looser stools | after having sinus surgery and having complications from it that other antibiotics were unable to cure, i developed bronchitis and pneumonia...this antibiotic is amazing! Finally got everything cleared up after 2 months of constantly being sick. | M | 45 | 14 days 300mg 2X D | 4/11/2016 | 1 | Sinus Infection | Diarrhea, Anxiety, Foggy, Loss of appetite, Dry Mouth, Slight cramping, Vaginal Itching. | I have taken Omnicef before, more than 10 years ago and I dont remember the side effects being this severe then. But this time around I have felt absolutely horrible. First I had an "accident" where I couldnt make it to the bathroom in time, even tho I was home it was horrifying. I called Patient First where I asked if I could take Imodium to help with the diarrhea, they said they wanted me to finish the course of the medicine and if in 2 days the Imodium didnt help to come back in. And it did get better with the Imodium combined with the yogurt (Activia) The anixtey/dpression started about 3 days ago and I didnt even think that it might be caused by the medicine until reading all of the comments on here that sound identical to my symptoms. I have been a sufferer of anxiety before but it has been more than 9 years since Ive had any issues with it. But the last few days on this medicine have just been horrible. I feel foggy, not confused but just like something isnt right. Its sad because it knocked the Sinus Infection right out a few days in, but now I'm left feeling anxious, no appetite in 3 days, and very loose stools. I have been eating yougurt with probiotics which seems to help with the frequency of the diarrhea. I have been telling my boyfriend for days I cant wait to STOP this mediciation to feel better mentally. I know its never good to stop an antibiotic before its stupposed to be stopped but I'll get something else if I have to. I will NEVER take this medi | F | 31 | 7 days | 4/6/2016 | 1 | Cold to Double Ear Infections | Severe, throbbing, unrelenting headache in the back of the head. | Someone brought their sick kid to work who projectile vomited all over me in the elevator. A week later I was sick and had double ear infections. I went to the doctor and was prescribed Cefdinir for 10 days. I went back to the doctor 3 days later because I had developed a severe headache in the back of my head, nothing helped with the pain. My vitals (blood pressure and heart rate) were so high the doctor sent me straight to the emergency room. At the ER they determined that the pain was causing the high blood pressure and rapid heart beat (rather than the other way around) and attributed the headache to the bacterial ear infections and told me to finish up the antibiotic and come back if the headache didn't go away. After 8 days of suffering tremendously with the throbbing, debilitating headache I read about how severe back of the head headaches was a side effect of this drug. I stopped the drug after 8 days and on day 9 there was significant improvement. The headache is not gone but ibuprofen 1000mg and hydrocodone are somewhat managing it now. From what I've read the headache can last two days to a week after stopping the drug. I've never had an allergy or reaction to any medication before in my life. Shame on the FDA, this drug should be taken off the market immediately. | M | 39 | 10 days 600 1X D | 3/23/2016 | 3 | Strep Throat | I had no side effects until day 8 of a 10 day course. Suddenly I felt very chilled, and all my joints ached, especially shoulders/back, knees and wrists. Felt like I had the flu. The following day I had the same, but additionally watery diarrhea with reddish color, and the most horrible stomach pains and cramps. They had me doubled over in pain. After that I started getting an itchy rash and hives broke out on my legs, forehead and scalp. I also had developed some small white sores on my lips. I finished the course because I was at the end. But I would never take it again. | Don't take it if you have another option. Side effects were ridiculous. | F | 40 | 10 days 2x day | 3/21/2016 | 2 | Tonsillitis | I got a horrible yeast infection that was literally unbearable and now horrible stomach pains with constant diarrhea. | F | 19 | 10 days | 3/5/2016 | 1 | Sinus infection | Vomiting, horrible stomach pain, diahrrea | Was supposed to take for 10 days. Barely managed 4 and had to be taken off. He missed school and was in horrible pain from this medication. When a 14 year old boy sits and cries over how much his stomach hurts, you know it's a problem. I would NEVER recommend this med. | M | 14 | 4 days | 2/29/2016 | 1 | Sinus Infection | Nausea, stomach cramps, headache, vaginal burning. Diharerra. | I will never take this medicine again, made me feel worse then what it was prescribed for. | F | 64 | 2 days 300 2X D | 2/26/2016 | 1 | Pneumonia | Hives, rash, joint pain, fever, stomach pain, headache, swollen throat | M | 8 | 10 days 250 MG 1X D | 2/24/2016 | 1 | impetigo | My son contracted impetigo and with this medication, he experienced severe vomiting (to the point stomach acid was coming up), headache, diarrhea, and putrid smelling gas. | I would not recommend this medicine to anyone. I have never seen such horrible side effects before. | M | 9 | 1 days 150mg 2X D | 2/20/2016 | 2 | Respiratory complicated with cold | Could not sleep from unbearable leg and thigh cramps. | F | 65 | 3 days 30 mg 2X D | 2/19/2016 | 2 | Strep | Headache, Foggy Feeling, Horrible Anxiety, Restless | It worked great on killing the strep but made me completely miserable in the meantime. It made me so depressed and made me feel like I was literally dying. | F | 31 | 10 days 300 MCG 2X D | 2/4/2016 | 1 | Yes | I was prescribed the generic version: Cefdinir - The first night (second dose) I experienced horrible diarrhea. I have been off for 1 day and I am still having diarrhea. I would not recommend taking this drug! | Doctors should warn patients about the serious side affects before prescribing this drug. | F | 51 | 2 days 300 mg 2X D | 2/4/2016 | 1 | ear infection | Anxiety, heart palpitations, vertigo, yeast infection, dizziness, feverish, joint pain,irritability | This drug does not need to be on market by far!!!!!!!!! | F | 32 | 10 days 300 2X D | 1/18/2016 | 1 | Sinusitis | Fast heart rate, shaking, sweating, panic attack | Would not recommend to anyone! | F | 29 | 1 days 300 MG | 1/17/2016 | 1 | Sinus infection | Depression anxiety insomnia severe fatigue!!!! | I can't believe a nAntibiotic can cause these mental side effects! Scary! Switching to a different one ASAP | F | 35 | 4 days | 1/5/2016 | 1 | Sinus infection | Severe burning in shins and muscle weekness,severe joint pain | Will not take again. Still having burning sensation in shins and it,s been 3 was since I stopped the meds. | F | 65 | 8 days | 12/31/2015 | 1 | Sinus infection | Severe red painful hives over entire body , severe itching, nausea and vomiting , abdominal cramps , feeling of "impending doom". | I am a nurse and have been for 24 years and until now I have never felt the need to comment on a medication. I started cefdinir for a sinus infection and within 3 hours after my first and only dose I broke out in severe painful hives all over my body. My face was blood red and I had swelling of my face, ears, lips, and even my hands , arms and legs were swollen and had very painful hives. I was also itching terribly and had the sensation that my skin was "crawling". I've never felt that before and can't explain it any other way. It felt like my skin was going to tear from the swelling and my fingers and wrists looked like they were going to burst open. I also had severe nausea and vomited. I had cold sweats and felt a heaviness in my chest that actually scared me. I was home alone and rationally I knew I needed to be seen and treated. I ended up taking a large dose of Benadryl and decided to wait. The nurse in me doesn't like being a patient but truly I was scared by the severe reaction I had. I know I needed epinephrine and am just grateful that I had only taken one dose and was able to get through it after Benadryl. My joints remained swollen and sore for the next couple of days and my skin , while the hives were gone , was overly sensitive to touch and actually hurt for several days afterwards. I also felt totally exhausted for a couple of days. I've taken antibiotics in the past and have never had an adverse reaction to any drug. I know many people | F | 45 | 1 days | 12/27/2015 | 1 | Sinus Infection | Worst drug ever!!! Took only one dose and next day have experienced some of the worst diarrhea of my life! Horrible head ache and I can't even imagine someone taking this wicked drug for 10 days!!!! | F | 31 | 1 days 300mg | 12/10/2015 | 1 | Respitory Infection | Chronic chest pain, anxiety and depression, being out of breath at times. | I'm still having chest pains since I started taking Cefdinir and wondering if it has done some level of damage. I stopped taking after the fourth day because I noticed a severe change in my overall well being physically and emotionally. | F | 7 days 300 2X D | 12/4/2015 | 3 | Respiratory infection | Dizziness , anxiety, and depression. Anxiety was unreal with this antibiotic. I am not prone to depression and am not a "cryer", but all I wanted to do was cry! I felt shakey inside, joints ached....I felt like I was losing my mind. I couldn't sleep, either...it's like my mind wouldn't 'shut off'. A major awful antibiotic. I took it for 4 days as prescribed, but had to stop. It has been 3 days since my last dose and I still am not 100% feeling like my old self, but the side effects are subsiding. Funny thing...my 4 year old son took it last month and his personality drastically changed as well. He was agitated, having night terrors, and easy to cry. Not like him at all! Now I know it had to be the Omnicef he was taking. Never again! I told the doctor, but he more or less said I was crazy and that an antibiotic would never effect a person that way. I don't believe him in the least! Stay away from this drug! | It's sad that the side effects to this antibiotic are so horrible, because I could tell a major improvement in my infection after the first couple of doses. It works well to get rid of infection IF you can stand the side effects. | F | 45 | 7 days 500 mg day | 11/29/2015 | 1 | Ear infection | Hives, swelling, headache, burning skin | I've never felt this bad in my life. After 2 days on it I broke out in hives on entire body. Stopped taking and day 3 developed hives in face and swelling of face and ears and feeling like my face and head were burning from the inside. On Benedryl and Oatmeal baths. Still fighting hives and burning 5 days later. This drug is HORRIBLE! | F | 48 | 2 days 300mg | 11/27/2015 | 1 | Upper Respiratory Infection | After 1st dose, I experienced vaginal itching and swelling. Told my dr the next morning and he prescribed Diflucan--usually 1 dose clears up any vaginal problems, but have had 3 doses now and no relief, so feel it must be the Omnicef. | Supposed to be on Omnicef for 10 days, but I am stopping it today. Have had diarrhea and a headache that I attributed to other things, but I truly believe it is the Omnicef now. The genital swelling and itching is unbearable and has now spread to rectal area. | F | 61 | 3 days 300 mg 2X D | 11/22/2015 | 1 | Strep throat/tonsillitis | Over the course of 5 days of taking this, the side effects gradually became worse to the point where the extreme nausea, constant diarrhea, dizziness, and hives outweighed any potential benefit of finishing out the 10-day course I was prescribed. Debilitating side effects have cost me days off work. Never again!! | Plan on camping out in the bathroom for a week if you take this. | F | 37 | 5 days 300 mg 2XD | 11/19/2015 | 2 | Strep Throat | Frequent diarrhea | Yesterday was my 8th day out of 10 days total for taking this antibiotic. At 2:30 in the morning, I woke up and had to run all the way down the dorm hall to the community bathroom (for diarrhea). This persisted throughout the day. By 8:30 am, I had already gone 6 times. By the end of the day, I have gone a total of 13 times. Sure, my strep is gone... and I knew that diarrhea was a side effect of cefdinir.. but I surely did not expect it to be so severe! Terrible! | F | 21 | 10 days 300 mg x2 1X D | 11/11/2015 | 1 | Sinus infection and bronchitis | Muscle pain headache, nightmares, exhaustion, tinnitus, tight chest | This is a horrible drug. Z pack didn't do great job, so was put on omnicef. I have extreme muscle and back pain, head ache,you name it. I call the doctor and told her I quit. I will wait to see if my original symptoms come back. If they do. Never this drug again. | F | 57 | 5 days 300mg 2X D | 10/27/2015 | 5 | sinus infection | Slight sore throat.Light stomach pains.Was on amoxicillin for 3 weeks.Did nothing for my sinus infection.omnicef Has helped a lot I'm on my second 10-day dose. | If you have a sinus infection and your antibiotic is not working Try this.It sure helped me | M | 66 | 3 weeks 300mg | 9/15/2015 | 1 | Ear Infection | I was prescribed Cefdinir 26 days ago for double ear infections. I have never had allergy problems but on Day 8 of taking this drug, my head started itching. I stopped taking the medication on Day 9. The itching continued and knots developed on the back of my head on my hairline. The next morning I woke up to find my eyelids terribly swollen. I took an Aveeno bath and then let cold water run over my eyes. I went to work, hoping to get a few things completed (stupid yes) and swelling continued. I went to an Urgent Care Center and by this time could barely move, exhausted from the pain. I waited a bit and was taken back. My temperature was taken and I had a 101.5 temp. An Epi pen was administered and they wanted to transport me to ER. My sister, who is a nurse, came up and Epinephrine (shot in the leg) was administered, apparently because I kept "rebounding." A shot of kenalog was also administered in my leg. After being there 5 and a half hours, I wanted to leave so I was told | AWFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! STAY AWAY FROM THIS! | M | 52 | 10 days 300 MG 2X D | 9/14/2015 | 1 | Sinus infection | Headache, nausea, vomiting, extreme diarrhea, not feeling well | I will never take this drug again!!! I took one pill last week and started having diarrhea and vomiting simultaneously. This started about 3 hours after the first dose. I was in bed and off work for 2 days. I thought I had a virus or bug since I work in a hospital. Nope!!! Tried to start the regimen again yesterday and within an hour, I felt HORRIBLE! I have had at least 12 watery stools in 8 hours. I am experiencing nausea as well as an overwhelming feeling of not feeling good. This medicine will be added to my list of meds that I am allergic too!!! I do not ever want to take another one. The site of the pills almost make me sicker!!!!!! | F | 40 | 1 days 300 MG | 8/12/2015 | 2 | Sinus infection | Anxiety, sweating, abdominal pain, gas, reflux, general feeling unwell, joint pain, strange pain in jaws/teeth | The anxiety and nervousness this antibiotic causes is crazy. I have no idea what is in the formulation ( I took liquid suspension) that causes this. It was like my skin was crawling. Abdominal pain was so bad it hurt into my lower back. I had terrible joint pain and just generally felt AWFUL....flu-like joint pain. I quit taking it after day 3. I can tell that my infection is improving and I could see a major difference in my sinus pain after just one dose, but these horrible side effects are too life altering to put up with. I am calling my doctor to all him to prescribe something else. | F | 45 | 3 days 400mg | 7/25/2015 | 1 | Sinus infection | Horrible dizziness to the point I could hardly function. Extreme fatigue. Horrible drug! Will never take again. Worst antibiotic I've ever taken | F | 32 | 10 days 300 mg 2x | 7/6/2015 | 1 | Ear infection | Fever, headache, frequent loose bowel movements | F | 7 | 10 days 1X D | 6/29/2015 | 1 | sinus Infection | vagina itching/discharge, stabbing pain in abdomen, insomnia, super thirsty, loss of appetite, itching all over body, oddly bruised my finger trying to close a water bottle, and acid reflex, I took a pill this evening and body began to itch all over- this along with vaginal itching all day, I chose to look up what the side effects were..... We'll needless to say, due to so many side effects that I have not had prior and that were listed as "rare", I have chosen to stop taking the medication as of tomorrow. I feel better due to my sinus infection but the side effects are NOT worth 10 days of putting your body through drama! Be mindful if you chose to take this medication! There are other meds out there that work! | F | 45 | 7 days 600 MG | 6/22/2015 | 1 | Sinus infection | When I first started taking it everything seemed fine, but when it got in my system good I started getting EXREME anxiety & horrible panic attacks. Within an hour of taking my dose my heart would pound very hard. When I took my nighttime dose I could never sleep. My brain was just so foggy & I felt like I was in a daze. I was very light headed and dizzy. I turned very pale & felt numb particularly on my face. It made me depressed & I felt a sense of doom & nervousness. It has been 30 hours since I quit taking it. I am feeling a little better but I still feel the anxiety & dizziness. I am so slowly getting better though, would not reccomend this drug to anyone. I will be stopping this medication. | ANXIETY ATTACKS, DIZZINESS, NUMBNESS ,NERVOUSNESS, INSOMNIA, RAPID HEART RATE, DECREASED APPETITE, | F | 21 | 3 days 300 | 5/9/2015 | 1 | Sinus infection | severe diarrhea, loss of appetite, racing heart, fussiness, confusion | My daughter was on this for only 5 days and she was having up to 8 bowel movements a day of reddish water, pure WATER. She ate nothing and held her stomach whining when given food, but was super thirsty. My normally happy, energetic and curious baby seemed "lost" and cried all the time. The worst part of it is that my 5 year old got very sick from it 4 months ago (explosive diarrhea with mucus that lasted for over 3 weeks) and I still gave it to my younger daughter because the doctor said just because my older daughter reacted badly doesn't mean my younger one would. I believed that because my sister and I have always reacted very differently to medicine. Well, NEVER again for either of them. | F | 2 | 5 days 1X D | 4/2/2015 | 1 | Kidney infection | Increase thirst, frequent urination, loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, vaginal itching | This medicine made me so thirst I was drinking over 200 ounces of water a day. I was staying completely nauseous and vomiting a few times a day. Because of the increase in amount of fluids I wad urinating every hour or so. By day 3 I got the worst vaginal itching I couldn't even stand to be alive so I discontinued taking the medicine on day 5. I've taken a diflucan in case there's any yeast but it feels more like an allergic reaction. Hopefully it will go away soon. I will never take this medicine again. | F | 21 | 7 days 600 | 3/21/2015 | 5 | acute bacterial sinus infection | Felt relief quickly but seemed to take longer than amoxicillin to get rid of all pain in my face. Only side effect that was annoying was on 4th day, started to get major fatigue. Would wear off right before next dose. I would recommend taking the 600 mg at once before bed. | Fine antibiotic | F | 34 | 10 days 300mg 2x | 3/11/2015 | 3 | Ear infection & sinusitis | Diarrhea and abdominal cramping several times daily | It did cure the infection, but causes horrible diarrhea. | F | 39 | 10 days 300 mg | 3/8/2015 | 1 | Flu, Breathing Congestion, Fever | This medicine is absolutely horrible for a baby of 13 months. He started throwing up. He had red brown diaherra, very fussy, did not feel good, fever, yellow diaherra, He had no appetite, could not get comfortable. Was not himself at all.
