| 1 | Yes | A dentist gave this poison to my wife. It nearly killed her. She has C-Diff now and it has been 5 months and she is still sick. | This drug was banned in China. | F | 56 | 3X day | 12/4/2011 | 1 | chest inf/bone infection | flu like symptoms. headache, muscle pain, joint pain. fatigue, rapid heart beat, chills. my throat feels swollen on one side - but subsides as i have to take an anti-inflammatory as well. I cant see my doc for 48 hrs - but wow - dont know if i can continue this! i need to clear up the bone infection. :-( | F | 50 | 4 days 300 mg 4X day | 11/5/2011 | 5 | tooth abcess | NONE whatsoever | You MUST take this with a full meal and after the meal you take the pill WITH 8-16 oz of water. You will have no heartburn, stomach issues, etc. Also do not lay down for at least 30 minutes, so dont take it before bed. I bet most people giving a low rating didnt take it properly! | F | 43 | 7 days 150 mb\g 3X day | 7/3/2011 | 1 | tooth infection | I stopped med the minute I felt odd. Got C-Diff. Look it up. Took 1.5 years to get rid of this disgusting disease. | It could save somebody but let it be known you are more likely to get another life threatening superbug from this antibiotic than from any other, and it's not always easy to get rid of. C-Diff is a nightmare. Docs don't tell you the risk of C-Diff. | F | 55 | 4 days 125? 3X day | 5/26/2011 | 1 | Potential tooth infection | Tired, anxious. I had heart pain and I thought I was having a heart attack. Had to go to ER and get examined for a large amount of money. They finally told me that it was *probably* heartburn. Besides these things, minutes after taking the drug I would feel like I am exploding inside, or rather like there is a giant burning stick inside me. So I can only sit still, and can't bend! | The product has some serious side effects! | M | 23 | 3 days 1X day | 4/28/2011 | 5 | Root Canal | Must take with a full glass of water. If you don't, stomach will hurt. I could take this med with next to no side effect. Not everyone can. | I had some problems taking Keflex as it increased the amount of Metformin I was taking in my blood stream. That caused a lot of very low blood sugar readings. | M | 45 | 14 days 150 4X day | 3/29/2011 | 1 | Had teeth removed | Made me deathly ill only on 2nd day. Thought I was dying...seriously. Noticed my face looks sunburned and I am rashing out all over. | This is not a fun med! Not taking it! | F | 43 | 2 days 3X day | 2/24/2011 | 4 | Root Canal | None | It help to clear the infection. I have to take probiotics after treatment to prevent diarrhea. For most antibiotics take with good amount of dairy free food and drink plenty of water... | 42 | 10 days 2X day | 2/6/2011 | 4 | Tooth Abcess | Metallic taste in mouth, and intestinal upset (mild) | I can't take any of the "cillins", and this really works for me. This is the second time in 10 years I've been on it, and the mild side effects were easily tolerable. | F | 64 | 10 days 2 capsules 4X day | 11/19/2010 | 1 | cystic infection | diarreha, severe heartburn, high blood pressure, dizziness | F | 57 | 5 days 300mg 3X day | 10/23/2010 | 1 | skin abscesses | Diarrhea | Within 30 minutes of my first pill, I was racing to the bathroom with agonizing stomach cramps & diarrhea. This continued so badly for 48 hours, I couldn't be away from a bathroom for 30 seconds, so if I had to leave my house, I'd just not eat. The 2nd morning I managed to drop my dog at daycare, returned home, ate a yogurt and took a pill. Within 30 SECONDS this time, I was running to the can. Fluorescent yellow diarrhea I might add. It was so horrible I asked my GP for something different--Erythromyacin, which has caused no problem, even though the insert says it might. BTW, to anyone who has "Montezuma's Revenge": it severely dehydrates you, and drinking water doesn't replenish you--you need to drink Gatorade to get those enzymes back. TERRIBLE drug (for me). | F | 48 | 2 days 150 4X day | 10/11/2010 | 4 | Various | None. | I used to have to take Clindamycin, for various infections, because of a suspected Penicillin allergy. It turns out I didn't have a Penicillin allergy and haven't taken it since. I never really had any problems with the medication, though I always had one eye over my shoulder given the possibility for colitis issues. Talk to your doctor immediately, stop taking the med if you start experiencing any GI issues. Anyway, it was always effective at clearing up my infections. | M | 23 | 2 weeks ? 1X day | 7/11/2010 | 1 | Possible Toe Infection | Severe chills, Severe nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, rapid heart beat. | Podiatrist prescribed this for possible toe infection. I am allergic to penicillin and sulfa so this is what he came up with. I felt like I was on death's door just after 3 pills. I got chills in my body like I've never experienced before. When I got out of bed the next morning I immediately vomited and then had to rush to the toilet for the diarrhea. My heart beat shot up to 110 beats per minute which was the last straw. BE VERY CAREFUL when taking this drug. If something doesn't feel right - trust yourself and stop taking this. This pill taught me that when docs try to prescribe me something in the future I will ask for only 2 days worth of 'script to see how things go first then I won't be out so much money and stuck with a zillion poison pills. Terrible experience - I hope I don't suffer long lasting effects. Good luck. | F | 39 | 2 days 300mg 3X day | 5/6/2010 | 3 | sinus infection | Great the first few days.One of only a few Antibiotics i could stomache | I started day one on this with Prednisone also .Within an hour i had Diarreha but didnt know which one caused it but have to say after that i felt the best i have in months.Also had Diarreha on day 3.I,m going in for sinus surgery on the 3rd May but Doc was trying to clear up at least the left sinus so he didnt have to get into both. Stopped taking Prednisone on day 3 as my blood sugar hit 199 and i,m not diabetic.Continued with Clindamycin til end of day 4.Last dose i took made my lungs feel really tight..hard time breathing.I was a little upset as i thought i was doing ok on this one. Then didnt have a bowel movement at all for 5 days which concerned me.I didnt even feel the need..had this horrible suspicion it was something to do with this med but everything ive read indicated Diarreha..not the opposite.Went to ER last night..they gave me a laxative..told me it would work immediately.Nothing until the next day when finally i had a bowel movement. I Think if you can stomach this Med make sure you take a good probiotic along with it to keep some good bacteria in your stomach. .It did seem to clear one of my sinus's, or make it feel like its cleared. I wont know til i have a CT scan on Thursday.I,m keeping up with Probiotics for awhile to make sure my stomach is back to normal | F | 51 | 4 days 300 3X day | 4/26/2010 | 4 | Root Canal | Bad, metallic taste in mouth. | I didn't not have any intestinal problems, just the bad taste in my mouth. I am on my second round of Clindamycin because the first did not completely clear up the infection. | F | 34 | 7 days 300 mg 4X day | 4/2/2010 | 1 | First, bad gas, then constant going to the bathroom. This is a VICIOUS TORTUOUS drug. DO NOT LET YOUR DOC/DENTIST give you this. Switched to Zmax (Zinthromax) and it was much milder. | Find the inventer and put him/her on the stuff for a week and see how long they last | M | 50 | 2 days 3X day | 4/2/2010 | 1 | Root Canal | Diahrrea -- Very bad diarrhea. So bad that it continued for months after stopping it. | Dentist would not accept that this antibiotic gave me the diarrhea but my doc was surprised she didn't know. My doc even told me that he never prescribes it because of the side effects. I had to eat tons of yogurt for months to be back to normal | M | 40 | 4 days | 12/6/2009 | 2 | strep throat | vomiting from taste, diarrhea | Penicillin is really a much better option.This will give you bad infectious diarrhea and you will need to go BACK to the doctor to get treated | F | 21 | 2 days | 11/25/2009 | 1 | Clindamycin HCL- before root canal | I HATE CLINDAMYCIN HCL!!!! in bold, caps, red!! THis is the worst drug ever. Even my dentist did not warn me about its side effects. Early mar'09 i take this pathetic medication. Mid mar'09 i m bed ridded with severe diarrhoea. I contact my phisician , do stool tests, other tests, start probiotics n yogurt. lil better. After 4 months, little better. When diarrhoea seems to clear up, surprise, i get BV n yeast infection - as a side effect of anti-biotics. Now i have to take Flagyl, Diflucan-june-09. Something lead to urine infection- Now ampicillin-another bad anti-biotic. My anti-biotic inducted yeast iinfection is back. July'09 !! Now i m visiting my gynec again!! i feel like sue-ing that dentist!!!! i might! | F | 26 | 1 weeks | 8/6/2009 | 5 | post-surgical incision infection | Mild nausea and mild heartburn. | I had to go on two rounds of clindamycin plus one round of cipro for an infection at an incision site. I ate something every time I took this med so I wouldn't feel sick. That worked well for me. However the one side effect I question has to do with menstruation. One of the rounds fell in the middle of my cycle and this one is abnormal as it is literally on again off again. Abnormally light cycle with sporatic and intermittent menstruation. When I researched to see if it might be a side effect I couldn't find anywhere that might have a clue so I decided to put this in so if other women have the same problem they would know they are not alone. Other than the menstruation my side effects were very few and I have been very satisfied with this med. It cleared up my incision in just over one week. | F | 30 | 12 days | 8/4/2009 |
