| 1 | Sinus infection | Diarrhea, joint paint, dehydration, Gastritis | This is probably one if the worst antibiotics I’ve ever taken I. My life. This antibiotic gave me gastritis, and 6 months later I am still trying to recover from gastritis. This antibiotic is a last resort antibiotic for a reason. Avoid at all cost. | F | 26 | 7 days 300 MG 2X day | 8/27/2020 | 1 | Bacterial bronchiolitis | I have had heart palpitations, hot and cold falshes, chills, insomnia, constant fear, loss of appetite, anxiety (never had til now) | This drug is horrible! I have three pills left before I am done. This pill has made me feel awful. I DON'T reccomend this drug at all unless they put you on a non habit forming anxiety medication. Just horrible! | F | 41 | 10 days 300 mg 2X day | 7/8/2020 | 1 | Sinus Infection | Stomach Pain, Heartburn, joint pain | If you have been prescribed this drug, I would seriously reconsider taking it. I have taken amoxicillin and penicillin with no issue but this drug did a number of my Digestive tract that I am still having today. A horrible drug. | 26 | 7 days | 5/26/2020 | 1 | Sinus/ear infection | Extreme fatigue, dry mouth, anxiety, head buzzing, ear ringing, felt chilled then hot. Prickly sensation on skin. Fatigue and anxiety - very scary! | Took this with prednisone and problem seemed resolved but had more issues and requested a refill of only the antibiotic. All of the symptoms above began after starting the refill leading me to believe that prednisone masked any side effects the first time. I have been off Cefdinir for only one day and hope these awful side effects clear up soon. I will never take this drug again! | F | 60 | 16 days 300mg | 5/15/2020 | 1 | Sinus Infection | Severe Stomach Cramping, Severe Heartburn, Headaches, Constipation, Dizziness, Foggy head, dry mouth, dry eyes, heart palpitations, fear | Worst experience of my life, I've never known such bad heartburn and stomach cramping. At one point I thought I was going to die and was ready to go to the ER. It's been 3-4 days since I've been off it and the symptoms are still pretty severe. If you get these symptoms in the first day or two I would stop early and ask for another antibiotic. | M | 31 | 7 days 300 2X day | 4/3/2020 | 2 | Ear infection | Heart palpitations, irregular heartbeat, panic attacks, insomnia | F | 49 | 2 days 300mg | 3/18/2020 | 1 | Upper respiratory infection | I took this drug 2 days. I had the worse diarrhea (watery) I have EVER had. It continued for a week. Horrible night sweats- woke up soaked. Itching, blisters all over my buttocks & yeast infection - painful. Continued 4 weeks!!! Itching was random AND severe. These aide affects were MUCH WORSE than my original illness | THIS SHOULD BE TAKEN OFF THE MARKET. I would have welcomed dying for 3 weeks | F | 71 | 10 days 30 | 3/16/2020 | 1 | Sinus Infection | Cleared symptoms fast. Horrible, painful bloating and horrible frequent gas. I’ve never had a problem with an antibiotic and I’ve had my fair share. I stopped because my bloating was so painful and the gas so embarrassing. Side effects resolved. However my sinus symptoms reappeared, took two more doses and the same side effects returned | F | 41 | 10 days 300 MG 2XD | 1/17/2020 | 1 | Sinus infection | This is my second round of these antibiotics. I have heart pvc's so I can't take many antibiotics. Usually this one is ok but this time I'm experiencing heart palpitations and tiredness. Will not be taking this anymore! | F | 46 | 10 days 2x day | 1/11/2020 | 1 | Ear infection | Took for 9 days and during that time, got extremely sick with flu like symptoms. Also started having heart palpitations. It's been a week since I stopped & my heart palpitations are still there. I hate this drug!! | F | 37 | 9 days 300 mg | 12/3/2019 | 1 | Sinus infection | Brain fog, dizziness. Anxiety, chills, tightness in my chest, confusion, Nausea, bloating and gas. Obviously an allergic reaction. I am sure there are people this medication would benefit, i experienced these symptoms after 1 dose. I called my physician they told me to discontinue immediately and prescribed for me Bactrim which has always worked well for me. | If you experience the types of side effects listed by most on this page, I strongly recommend you contact the prescribing physician and get a different antibiotic .these are "supposedly rare" adverse reactions. I am sure the medication works really well for some people. If you're experiencing these side effects it is probably not right for you. | M | 43 | 1 days 300mg 2x d | 10/8/2019 | 5 | Bronchitis | All were mild. Or they were confused by my starting antidepressant meds. First time taking this drug. | Worked quickly. | F | 76 | 0 days 300 mg | 8/31/2019 | 5 | Severe UTI | I began feeling better quickly, as far as the UTI was concerned. Side effects were as follows: indigestion (so I ate when I took them), dull headache, fatigue and weakness which could also be due to the severity of the UTI. | I think the benefits outweighed the side effects. | F | 58 | 10 days 300 mg 2X | 6/3/2019 | 1 | Sinus infection | Horrible anxiety, abdominal cramps, dry mouth, depression and irritability | F | 33 | 4 days 300mg | 5/16/2019 | 5 | Ear infection | First 3 doses had itching, but no rash. After that no more itching for the rest of the course. No other side effects. | Worked great. Until I was sure I wouldn't get anaphylaxis or Stevens-Johnson Syndrome from a new drug, I opened the capsules, poured out the contents, licked my finger and dipped it in the powder, licked the powder off, then downed it with 2 cups water. Had no itching after the first 3 pills, so I eventually stopped worrying and took whole capsules at once. Cefdinir isn't like ciprofloxacin, levofloxacin, or moxifloxacin (fluoroquinolones) -- those antibiotics leave people permanently disabled for the rest of their lives. | M | 40 | 10 days 300 mg 2X day | 4/7/2019 | 3 | Sinus infection | Anxiety and fatigue. Dealing with the anxiety because I want the sinus infection go away | M | 50 | 10 days | 3/22/2019 | 1 | Upper respiratory infection | Anxiety, paranoia, insomnia, brain fog, extreme fatigue, heart burn, indigestion, panic attacks, heavy chest feeling | This needs to be taken off the market.. At first I felt as if it was helping and now I'm up at 4:49 am I just took it at 2:00 am and I am having stomach pain/acid reflux I'm unable to sleep I'm very frightened and as long as I've been on this hell med I've had a sour taste in my mouth extreme panic attacks and paranoia and lots and lots of crying I would not reccomend this to anyone I would really like to get off this medicine.. I've also heard good chance it causes c-dif too!!! Just absolutely worst antibiotic ever. | F | 21 | 4 days 300 mg 2X | 2/25/2019 | 1 | Throat Infection | All of them. Still got them 2 weeks later. Anxiety, flu like symptoms, neck back leg pain, hives, chest tightness, no appetite, no energy, panic attacks, not pooping right,Throat pain and swelling, tired, out of sorts. | I dread the day I started these. I need help But too late. It's awful. Please do not take these ever! Should not be on the market again. | 45 | 10 days 1 30mg 2x | 2/18/2019 | 2 | Sinus infection | Diarrhea, horrible anxiety, headache, brain fog, depression, dizziness | Im still taking my prescription and im hoping this clears my sinus infection thats been causing severe pressure in my eyes, but i hate these side effects!!! I've been very moody and so anxious! | F | 33 | 5 days 300 mg | 2/15/2019 | 1 | Sinus Infection | I felt like I was dying, it helped with the pressure I had behind my forehead, I only had taken 3 pills of it. The 1st dose I took I started to feel a little off, had some tingling and numbness in my hand. 2 dose I took at bedtime that same day made me feel very weak and lightheaded and made my joints hurt, insomnia also. 3rd dose that next day did me in, approximately 15 mins of taking it I felt lethargic, tingling, burning feeling in my hands, very emotional, paranoid, memory loss, high blood pressure, joint pain, still appetite loss, pale skin, rapid heat beat, chest tightness, closing of breath and then a bad panic attack (first time experiencing that) I was so scared that I thought I was about to die, called 911 ambulance transported me to hospital and further test were done. A day later still having tons of anxiety, loss of appetite, horrible headache, memory loss at times. I didn’t take any more after the 3rd dose. Something needs to be done about this Med, FDA needs to remove it ASAP. Ppl shouldn’t have to experience horrifying effects like this, I just hope that I don’t have any lingering symptoms for months to come. Take our Advice, Do not take this drug!!!!!!!!! Please | Dangerous drug | F | 38 | 2 days 300 mg | 12/31/2018 |
