| 4 | Dog bites , to prevent infection | Only side effect I have noticed so far is extreme tiredness! It is very apparent, where I will feel fine and then take Cefzil, and and 20-30 min later I can barely keep my eyes open. Its harder to wake up in the morning too, since I started this. Only day 5 today, hope my symptoms don't get worse like most of you are saying!!! Plus I am allergic to penicillin and I know this is in the same family, so, we will see. | Bites are healing with no infection and feel fine other than being so tired after taking. | F | 25 | 10 days 250 mg 2X day | 5/7/2014 | 1 | tonsilitis | My son was put on this antibiotic for a 3rd round of tonsillitis in 4 mths, he was fine for the first 8 days and then after his first dose on the 9th day that evening he started to vomit and while he was vomiting he would have a red hivey rash that would disappear after he finished throwing up, I have noticed he doesn't drink as much the last day or so and he has decreased urine output. I am scared he is only 21/2 yrs old. | M | 2 | 10 days 250MG 2X day | 12/19/2013 | 1 | Spider bite | Severe hives ... From head to toe. It's so bad it's all over my husbands penis, on his butt, legs and on his head. He has stopped taken the medication over a week now and the hives are still popping up all over his body. He looks like a monster. I still love him very much. Very concerned wife In Oakland ca. | M | 46 | 10 days 500 mg | 10/21/2013 | 1 | sinus infection uti | Hives | My 2 yr took this medicine in march. After 7 days she broke out in hives. The dr said it was from a virus. We just took this drug again last week after 7 days she broke out in hives from head to toe. They then formed huge patches all over her. We are on day 3 of benadryl as the hives go away and the benadryl wears off more hives come. | F | 2 | 7 days 3 ml 2X day | 8/19/2013 | 1 | sinus/ear infections | Severe hives after day 7 on the med. Chest pains muscle aches and severe anxiety also. I still have hives popping up hate this med. | F | 35 | 7 days 250mg | 8/18/2013 | 3 | Sinus infection | Extreme moodiness,hyper | F | 39 | 10 days 250mg | 7/22/2013 | 3 | Child's ear infection | My daughter is allergic to penicillin, so cefprozil is considered a safe alternative. today was a 7th day of 10 day course when she developed severe hives all over body as soon as she woke up. No more of this medicine for her from now on, she had been taking Benadryl and as soon as it wears off more hives are coming and itching, joint pain. Doc said it will probably be the case for the next few days until this cefzil is out of the system completely. Doc said if it gets worse to come back ASAP. | I was warned by my daughters doctors in the past that 10percent of people with penicillin allergy develop allergy to cephalosporin antibiotics. | F | 6 | 7 days 2X day | 7/12/2013 | 3 | Child's ear infection | no side effects until last day of course. He broke out in rash and hives all over his body. Continues to break out now, every day and we are 8 days PAST his last day of the course. Doctor and pharmacist say it can't be Cepzil that is now causing chronic hives and itching every day--but we have changed NOTHING in his diet and/or anything in his environment. Will NEVER allow my child to be given this medication again. | M | 6 | 10 days 1 tsp. 2X day | 5/27/2013 | 1 | 1X day | 5/20/2013 | 2 | Sinus infection | Vomiting, stomach cramps, headaches, and fatigue. Will not take again | F | 20 | 10 days 500 | 4/16/2013 | 1 | Pain in leg - varicose veins | Severe nausea and vomiting within 1.5 hour of taking the drug. Stopped immediately | M | 61 | 1 days 500 2X day | 3/5/2013 | 1 | Sinus infection | Diarrhea, SEVERE hives all over body! Had to go to the ER twice. | The hives were so scary (in hair, on face, legs, chest, sides, back, legs) I would NEVER take this product again. | F | 37 | 7 days 250 2X day | 2/11/2013 | 1 | Bacterial lung infection | On the 4th day into cefzil I suffered a minor stroke, which luckily caused no permanent damage. It probably would have been way worse but it happened at the right place at the right time with someone who knew the signs and symptoms of a stroke. | M | 21 | 10 days 500 | 1/29/2013 | 1 | Ear infection | I would get very nauseous and uncomfortable after taking this pill and I'm almost done my dose and my ear infection still hurts! Didn't work, just made me feel worse. | F | 21 | 8 days 500 | 1/16/2013 | 1 | infected toe | Atfer 2nd dose I began vomiting and had rerrible headache. Did not take 3rd dose. Had dr. Switch to z pack. | F | 40 | 1 days | 1/9/2013 | 2 | Sinus infection | Terrible fatigue, muscle pain, especially in my legs. The cure was worse than the sinus infection. | F | 38 | 6 days | 12/20/2012 | 1 | Pneumonia | My son started taking this after azithromax did nothing. After the second dose on the first day he had a massive bloody nose and started throwing up. The second night woke up throwing up again. Third morning had horrible diarrhea gave him a dose and he threw up again. He refuses to eat so that' makes everything worse. I called the doc and they basically said too bad that's what happens with a strong antibiotic. I try to give probiotics but he refuses. It is only day 3 and I am scared of how long this will continue. I can hardly get him to drink water. I have to say his cough has gotten much better. | M | 2 | 10 days 1tsp 2xd | 12/2/2012 | 2 | Ear Infection | Yeast Infection and headaches | This did not work at all. Took the medication as prescribed never missed a dosed and was told to take it every 10-12 hrs and my ear infection is still there. | F | 27 | 10 days 500MG 2X day | 10/22/2012 | 2 | Lymph node infection | Rash developed on the tops of both of my thighs, started getting stomach cramps and anxiety attacks | F | 28 | 3 days 250 MG 2X day | 7/20/2012 | 4 | throat infection | A bit of anxiety, but nothing bad. Nothing to fear unless your allergic to penicillin. No diarrhea, but take probiotic 4-6 hours after dose. | Took care of the infection by day 3-4. Only downside is that 10days is long. Would take again if ever diagnosed with infection. | M | 35 | 10 days 500mg 2X day | 6/14/2012 |
