1 | UTI | Severe itching and hives, stomach cramps, and body aches | I have never had an allergic reaction to anything until taking this medication. After only taking my 2nd pill the itching and hives set in. I took 1 more thinking I would get past it and it only got worse. Had to stop taking it all together. | F | 25 | 2 days | 2/23/2008 | 1 | yes | Stomach cramps, pounding headache and terrible depression | This was the worst antibiotic reaction I have ever had. My doctor told me to stop taking it as soon as I told her my syptoms. I had symptoms within hours after the first dose. | F | 41 | 1 days | 1/14/2008 | 4 | major tooth infection and decay | none | works well so far... hopefully even stronger than cipro. we'll see. | F | 24 | 1 days | 9/22/2007 | 2 | Sinus Infection | Severe nausea, gastro-intestinal pain, general tiredness and weakness | Definitely would not take this again! My doctor took me off it immediately. | F | 31 | 3 days | 8/29/2007 | 5 | severe acne and cysts | Some mild nausea on occasion after taking the morning dose. Otherwise no other side effects. | Worked very well for me. I was almost completely clear of inflammatory acne after 4 weeks, although this was after switching from Solodyn which I took for 2 weeks before that before getting really sick. Now just dealing with scars and mild breakouts. Good drug for me. Sulfa drugs are not for everyone though. | F | 26 | 2 months | 8/6/2007 | 2 | stomach virus | 4 days after stopping the medication, I broke out with huge painful blisters all over my lips. Pain in my throat, nose, and eyes and mild headache. Went back to doctor, got cortisone shot, and was given an anit-inflammatory. | 1st time I've ever taken a sulfa drug. I won't be taking these again. | F | 38 | 5 days | 6/27/2007 | 4 | uti | little red dots on upper body, they didn't itch though | F | 37 | 10 days | 4/2/2007 | 4 | UTI | Extreme tiredness, general feeling of malaise, upper abdominal pain, nausea, felt like vomiting, but did not. Stomach upset, indigestion. | I would not take this drug again if I can avoid it at all. There must be other drugs for urinary tract infections than this "monster" drug. An awful experience. | F | 67 | 7 days | 3/18/2007 | 2 | UTI | severe headache, loss of appetite | M | 58 | 1 days | 9/18/2006 | 1 | UTI | I got hives all over my body, kept taking it becuase I had no clue what was causing it and I had taken it before with no problems. My throat ended up closing and I was rushed to emergency to get a shot of benadryl. | There are other non-sulfa medications to take for UTI's so it has not been a problem since. it was just weird to develop an allergy for something I had already taken. | F | 29 | 3 times | 9/18/2006 |
