 1  skin infection DO NOT TAKE THIS! I have had all sorts of anti biotics in the past but Dr prescribed me this one as others have made me feel ill. After just one day of taking the medicine I was in severe pain with stomach cramps, vomiting 4 times an hour, so much that I couldn't even put the tiniest drop of water in my mouth without being sick and sweating like crazy and then shivering cold minutes later. Stopped taking the medicine but still feel extremely ill. Avoid at all costs! F 19 1 days

 4  Wisdom Teeth Infection Stomach Cramps, Not too bad, Usually just in the morning after I took it, Diarrhea once and a while after I got a huge pain in my stomach. The thing that made me most uncomfortable was sweating, After taking it I seem to have episodes of beated sweat,(even in air conditioned places.) and exhausted, constantly tired no matter how much I slept or how well. The worse thing about it was being tired all the time, and just a weird feeling in my stomach. However the pain in my gums are subsiding until surgery. WAH. I hate antibotics :( F 10 days

 1  ear infection Wish I wouldve read this before taking it Horrible experience. I woke up after taking the second dose with such extreme pain in my upper abdomen under both rib cages that I had to go to the emergency room as I thought i was having a gullbladder attack. I have given birth to 4 children and the stomach pain I endured from just 2 of these tabs was by far worse then contractions. I havent taken any in about 24 hrs and the stabbing pains are slowing down .. I also havent eaten in two days because I just feel like Im voing to vomit. Do NOT TAKE THIS MED . The emergency room dr. Told me he doesnt prescribe it to his paitients because of all the HORRIBLE side effects. F 27 10 days

 1  Tooth infection Beginning of day 2 an excessive amount of wind and bloating . Tiredness. Nausea which got progressively worse throughout the day . Stomach discomfort at first followed by severe pains pulsating in intestines, it was like I could feel the drug working it's way down . The pains caused severe nausea and retching . After about 5 hours of this the only way I could stop the retching was to breath like I was having a baby! Very scarey I've not experienced anything like this before. I'm glad it's morning. I still have slight pain and discomfort in my gut which I'm hoping will go in s couple of hours. The plus side tooth ache has gone. F 53 2 days

 3  Helicobacter Pylori Severe tummy cramps and diarrhoea, rumbling of tummy and general tiredness I was originally on another one that made me very unwell so was put on this with a combo of another to for the tummy ulcer. This one has not been as bad as the other and I have been able to cope on this one although antibiotics have never been good on my tummy, no matter which ones I have taken. I bought pro biotics and natural live yoghurt as advised by doctor to replace the good bacteria lost from the antibiotic. But I will be honest, I have not been able to go to many places since been on them, only local due to the diarrhoea and tummy cramps. I just hope they have cleared this up as apparently its a hard thing to shift. F 46 7 days

 2  Wound infection Hunger pains, severe chest pains and light headedness As far as it clearing up the infection, it did wonders! However; if I wanted to feel as if I was giving birth to an alien through my chest, I would've thought twice about taking this stuff. The pain is something else, can't get comfortable in any way shape or form... Be careful with this stuff! M 20 3 days

 1  Cold/upper respiratory infection Weight gain, anxiety, gum line inflammation/redness, heartburn. I took this med a few months ago and had the same side effects, but didn't think a simple antibiotic would cause so many issues. Here I am again with a cold and got prescribed the same thing. On the 4th day I noticed my gum line around certain teeth are getting red/inflamed. I also have bad anxiety at night and massive heartburn. In 4 days I have gained almost 5 lbs from it. I didn't connect the dots with this med the first time, but am 100% sure it's the cause of the above issues now. If you can take something else, do it. Odd thing is, I had never had a problem with antibiotics before in my life. Strange. M 45 4 days

 1  Tonsillitis & chest infection I have a penicillin allergy so was prescribed these. They def helped with my tonsillitis but I've nearly suffered as much with the side effects. Severe stabbing pain from under my rib cage all the way around to my back. Only took them for three days as I couldn't take the pain anymore. I've been on antibiotics before and never had any side effects. Read that high dose increases chances of side effects so going to pharmacy tomorrow to check my prescription. F 31 3 days
