2 | Bacterial infection in throat | Small white sores in mouth developed after 2 days. 7/10 in pain rating when eating or drinking. Got worse and stopped taking after 6 days. Could not even reach the full 10 days prescribed. | Product worked to clear up bacterial infection, but created a whole new problem with the side effects. | M | 21 | 6 days 250 mg | 3/10/2017 | 4 | Middle ear infection | Light flushing. Irregular heart rhythm, some abdominal pain | Took Ceftin 500 mg. twice a day for 7 days. Had a middle ear I infection, no pain, just could not hear out of my left ear and this was following the flu, so my fears were that this was permanent, but on day 7 the infection began to clear. I am thankful, because the longer you can't hear the more likely you could loose some of your hearing. Very thankful. Eat lots of potassium rich foods when you take this. | F | 54 | 7 days 500 mg | 2/4/2017 | 1 | Bronchitis | Extreme nausea and body shaking all over. I stopped the medication and I am now taking zofran . WORST MEDICINE EVER! | F | 35 | 2 days | 1/25/2017 | 4 | Bronchitis | Weird smelling urine | Put on this after symptoms became worse after 3 days of amoxicillin. I'm also 5 months pregnant and dr felt this would be the best way to help after 2 weeks of feeling horrible. No bad reactions | F | 31 | 10 days | 1/11/2017 | 2 | Prostatitis | Heartburn, diarrhea, anxiety, shaky feeling. Six week treatment. Fine for two weeks, then felt really anxious for no reason and my belly hurt. After a three week break, started again and the same symptoms hit after just a couple of days. Never taking this again. | M | 54 | 6 weeks 500 | 1/9/2017 | 1 | Sinusitis | Severe mouth ulcers. Swollen glands. Ear fluid sound. Very tired | M | 51 | 5 days 250 mg | 12/17/2016 | 5 | As a safeguard against a infection | I will not use this medication after I have read what it can do to the body. Thanks for letting me know what this did to you, I was informed. | F | 58 | 1 days 500mg | 11/22/2016 | 1 | Sinus infection | Took first dose and within 1 1/2 hours had severe stomach pain and severe nausea and vomiting and diarrhea ended up in the ER with dehydration and signs of sepsis | M | 46 | 1 days 500 mg | 11/21/2016 | 3 | Sinus infection | Was ok for infection but I'm restless, anxious and dizzy. | F | 38 | 7 days | 11/9/2016 | 1 | Sinus infection and UTI | I felt worse from the med. I was achy, no appetite, stomach pain, vomitting 1day, tired, will never take this again. In fact I'm in day 9 and stopping it as my sore throat is back. | F | 67 | 8 days 500 | 10/20/2016 | 1 | Sinus and double ear infection | Nauseated, vomiting, dizziness, still symptomatic after being off 48 hours. | Would never take this again. Did nothing but make me feel sicker. | F | 67 | 10 days | 10/18/2016 | 1 | Sinus infection and ear infection | Dizziness nausea, dry mouth, loss of appetite, restlessness, lethargy headache, backache | It seems to have cleared up the infection but now I cannot move without holding on to things to keep from falling over. Terribly strong medicine that wrecks havoc on your body. | M | 58 | 8 days 500mg | 10/3/2016 | 3 | Bronchitis | Insomnia, muscle pain, vivid busy dreams | Works well to stop bronchitis, but side effects are making it questionable.

Side effects crept in slowly as time went on. I only made it 10 days out of the 14 day prescription - I just couldn't take any more. My stomach has been destroyed after taking this. I've had a few bouts of severe gerd and upper stomach pain. Over all I just feel like I've been run over by a truck. I just feel sick, weak, tired and worthless three days out from stopping this stuff. I will not be taking this again. Ceftin is a powerful antibiotic that can take you down. Be cautious before taking this, doctors just write the script for this stuff and don't pay enough attention to what damage it does to their patients. | M | 53 | 14 days 500mg 2X day | 7/9/2016 | 1 | ear infection | This medicine helped my ear infection. But it gave me an excruciating back pain followed by nausea and insomnia. Never again will I take this medication. Bad mistake. | F | 32 | 3 days 500mg | 4/17/2016 | 3 | Sinus problem | Vaginal itching and drowsiness | The medicine worked for the infection, but the side effects I'm experiencing are deal breakers, I will never take this medication again. | F | 22 | 10 days 500 MG | 3/21/2016 | 1 | UTI | Does not work on my third dose and symptoms are still there | F | 32 | 1 days 500 | 3/10/2016 | 1 | sinus & respiratory infection | nausea, aches, diarrhea, flu like symptoms, weight loss, loss of appetite | I was soooo sick on this medication, I will never take it ever again. | F | 58 | 10 days 500mg 2X day | 3/8/2016 |
