5	Wisdom tooth pain	I experienced diarrhea shortly after I started taking the capsules. The dentist told me to stop taking them for two or three days, then resume. I did this and the diarrhea didn't happen again. I experienced tightness in my throat immediately after taking the capsule. The pain in my tooth subsided then stopped. I've noticed that since taking this drug, that my defecation has become more normal. It used to be on a weekly or longer cycle, with large bowel motion. It is now on a two day cycle with smaller bowel motions. An interesting drug!		M	78	7 days 300mg 4X D	7/30/2016
1	Infection in tooth	I had a horrible taste in my mouth.	I will not be finishing this prescription - I have only taken it 2 days and have had a horrible metallic taste in my mouth. I called dentist and ask for a different antibiotic.	F	40	7 days 150mg 2X D	9/22/2015
2	Ear infection	My bowels became liquid after one day. Headaches and a metallic taste in my mouth.	Prescribed this by a walk-in clinic as my GP was away. Awful side effects. My regular GP took me off it as soon as he returned saying it shouldn't be used a first line treatment as it causes bad stomach issues.	M	48	3 days 300 mg 3X D	4/6/2013
