| 4 | skin infection | Mild to moderate itching over 90% of my body. Mild to moderate swelling and pain in my feet and ankles. | It smells terrible and the side effects are uncomfortable but not intolerable. It seems to be working though. | F | 34 | 10 days 500 mg 4X day | 6/18/2011 | 4 | SEVERE SINUS AND EAR INFECTION | NONE THAT I HAVE NOTICED AND I AM VERY SENSITIVE TO MEDICATION, PARTICULARLY ANTIBIOTICS. I HAVE HAD NEAR FATAL REACTIONS TO THE CLASS OF POISONS CALLED LEVAQUIN AND CIPRO AND ALL THAT GARBAGE. THIS DRUG (TAKEN WITH A PRO BIOTIC AS ALWAYS) CLEARED THE INNER EAR PAIN AND INFECTION THE 2NE OR 3RD DAY OF TAKING IT. | WOULD RECOMMEND TO ANYONE, ESP. THOSE ALLERGIC OR SENSITIVE TO THOSE NEW WEIRD MEDS AND ANTI B'S LIKE Z PACKS AND QUINOLONES | F | 31 | 5 days 500 MG 4X day | 6/17/2011 | 4 | Strep Throat/Strep Infection | Loss of appitite, mild body aches/headaches, chills (not often), fatigue | It worked very well to clear up the infection. The side effects were more of a nusience than anything. | M | 16 | 10 days 500 3X day | 4/18/2011 | 5 | bronchitis/strep | Gas, Diarrhea | Works wonders for infections. I fetl 95% better after first dose, Worth the farting and diarreha. | F | 42 | 7 days 500mg 2X day | 3/31/2011 | 5 | UTI | I always take pro-biotics (acidophilus, 1 billion CFU) when taking any antibiotic as my body tries really hard to react w/ a yeast infection. So, far taking 4 days and okay, maybe a little gas. | F | 48 | 7 days 250 mg 4X day | 3/14/2011 | 5 | UTI | nothing really. A little dizzyness. | This is my go-to drug for a UTI. I had a really bad experience with Macrobid, and Keflex is much gentler on my system. This works to clear my UTI in 3 days. It's not as potent as Macrobid (which seriously cleared my UTI in one day, but also made me sick and gave me weird numbness). I am happy with Keflex. | F | 27 | 3 days 500 2X day | 11/14/2010 | 5 | por infeccion urinaria | ningun side effects | c9ontolo co9mpletamenbte la infeccion | F | 78 | 10 days 500mg 2X day | 8/11/2010 | 5 | Sinus Infection | No bad side effects. This is my second time using it, I used it about a year ago. Works better then the other 6 ones I tried and is free at publix. Last time used 3x for two weeks and now 4x for 2 weeks | Smells and tastes bad. Will give you some stinky farts | M | 31 | 9 days 500 MG 3X day | 7/12/2010 | 5 | Bacterial Infection in Throat | Nausea, abdominal pain, heartburn, mild burping | Horrible smell & taste, but it works. Its worth every dime. | M | 20 | 10 days 500 4X day | 4/29/2010 | 5 | Strep Throat | None | Works very well and QUICKLY. Went from terribly sore throat and fever with chills to 97.5 the next morning. 2 days after first pill brings ya back to 100%. Smelly pills but who cares if it works. Highly recommend for appropriate infections. | M | 45 | 7 days 250MG 4X day | 4/27/2010 | 1 | Surgery | I took it after my breast reduction and didn't know I was allergic to penicillin and I went into allergic shock and needed epinephrine (sp?), almost dided. | Don't take if you are allergic to Penicillin! | F | 21 | 3 days | 12/12/2009 | 5 | Hand laceration | gas | second time i took this ab, my hand is healing remarkable well. Only complaint is mild gas. Most that are young and healthy do not have problems with this ab. | F | 23 | 4 days | 11/17/2009 | 3 | Cellulitis | None so far after 2 days | The pills have a terrible smell and taste, so be sure to take them with a thick drink and hold your breath when opening the bottle! Yuck!!! | F | 24 | 7 days | 10/8/2009 | 4 | UTI | Only a little diarrhea | This is one of the ONLY AB I can take that doesnt give me severe stomach cramping, muscle pains, and brain fogg. If this type of med is appropriate for your condition-go for it-way better than fluoroquinolones. | F | 30 | 7 days | 7/8/2009 | 1 | Ear infection - staph | At first, none. Very slight loose bowels. I was in a better than normal mood because I've started having strange reactions to other meds lately. However, this didn't even touch the infection. So it was worthless. Now, I have a burning pain on my shoulders and face like I have subburn. I may have lupus so maybe this is why I'm having issues. Very scared also because I have tons of little bumps on my skin that are slowly turning red and when rubbed, bleed. I hope I don't die from this or any other antibiotic to try and cure a staph infection that won't go away. Now I have a ringing in my ear that won't go away. YAY, thanks medical community for probably killing me. | Doctors should be ashamed. They really know very little about the human body but come off as if they have a clue. Reality is, they are throwing us to the wolves with antibiotics. The more we take them the more we are at risk for serious diseases like thyroid problems and other auto immune issues. A healthy body can become very unhealthy from taking dose after dose of these poisions made to kill bacteria AND everything else in your body. | M | 37 | 10 days | 4/24/2009 | 3 | Wound infection | Oral Thrush and vaginal yeast infections | Has worked in the past but this is the first time I have experienced these side effects. | F | 51 | 4 days | 3/26/2009 | 2 | preparation for root canal | Anxiety | Taking it as a precaution prior to root canal--hope it works since the anxiety is terrible | F | 65 | 5 days | 3/22/2009 | 5 | sinus infection/bronchitis | none | I felt better the very next day! The only thing I disliked about it was the smell/aftertaste of swallowing the pill.. but I hate just about any pill taste. | F | 24 | 10 days | 3/13/2009 | 1 | Abscess on upper ear cartilage | Absolutely nothing, no side effects. | In addition to no side effects, there were no effects at all whatsoever! After 4 days I was switched to another antibiotic, and my doc told me he tried me on the keflex at first because it was cheap! They made me fart, and well, open up the bottle and smell them. They smell like farts themselves. | F | 21 | 4 days | 2/23/2009 | 1 | paronychia | loss of appetite, confusion, gas, tiredness, moody | Took 1500mg a day for 2 weeks and it did nothing for the infection in my finger. Proved to be worthless except to make me more uncomfortable. | F | 30 | 2 weeks | 1/19/2009 |
