| 5 | Ear infection | Since about the second day of taking it, I've noticed my sense of taste is way off. Nothing tastes good | Cured my ear infection completely by day 3 | F | 5 days 250 MG 3X day | 2/28/2014 | 1 | Infection after molar tooth extract | Severe burning sensation and cramping and nausea and lethargy within hours. Vomited up blood twice in succession on second day. Have not continued taking meds. Hours after discontinuing feel a lot better but still experiencing some burning sensation. If I am sick again or burning continues for another day will go to hospital a&e. My appetite has also significantly reduced. Finding it hard to even drink fluids too. | F | 36 | 2 days 250mg 4x d | 2/15/2014 | 1 | ear infection | Severe stomach cramps, bloated & windy!! Cant sleep due to pain in tummy & sick feeling. Worst is the ear feels no better :( | F | 33 | 3 days 250mg x4 | 2/13/2014 | 1 | Tonsillitis | After last dose on day 2, vomiting every half hour to the minute, stomach cramps, something similar to hunger pains (although I'd eaten) ended up at doctors for anti vomiting tablets. | F | 35 | 2 days 30 | 2/4/2014 | 3 | throat infection | ok first couple of days but on day three i was up most of the night with terrible wind and abdominal discomfort | Spoke to the doctor who suggested cutting down the dosage to half of original. Also taking some bio Yogurt as read by posters here, feeling better 6hrs on but still to try and get a nights sleep. Fingers crossed. | M | 47 | 10 days 500mg 4X day | 1/30/2014 | 4 | Acne | I was prescribed erythromycin for acne and swollen glands by my GP 3 days ago for a 3 month course at 2x250mg morning and night. Symptoms: Day 1: Feeling tired, Nauseous, Fever. Day 2: Stomach cramps, Constant Hunger pains, Chest Pain and indigestion. Day 3: A little spaced out, Hunger pains and bad wind. luckily I researched this medication before taking it and lowered my dosage to 500mg per day 1x250mg morning and night. I have already noticed my lymph nodes shrinking and I have had no new spots breaking out. I shall keep you updated for any info contact me [email protected] | M | 19 | 3 days 1000mg | 1/24/2014 | 1 | Abscess on groin | 2 x4 total 8 tablets over 7 days. by day 2 had a rumbling hunger pangs sensation even though eaten food. By day 3 pain was like burning and came in spasms followed by vomiting then retching through the night bringing up yellow/green bile extremely dehydrated unable to drink water. So ill ended up in hospital on drip for 2 days. All bloods and observations including scans and xrays normal only thing to explain how I ended in hospital is these tablets. Really lethal. I am allergic to penicillin so now avoiding Erythromycin I also found out these tablets can lead to inflamed pancreas I am so relieved I stopped them when I did the pain was more upper stomach than lower and radiated in flanks. I really thought it was gallbladder or pancreatitis cannot believe these tablets that are supposed to help can make you so ill. | F | 43 | 3 days 250 | 1/20/2014 | 1 | Tooth Infection | Burning stomach and throat, extreme nausea, diarrhea, depression, panic attacks, could not eat | These are pure poison! I felt so sick that i couldn't eat. Did not take the last two but after 2 days of not taking them im still feeling ill...I feel like My body is going haywire. As someone who suffers from anxiety and emetophobia these definitely made it 300 times worse. Id rather be infected...its not worth it...i feel like i've tortured my body. | F | 19 | 5 days 250 4X day | 1/18/2014 | 5 | Cysts | I have been prescribed this many times and unlike other anti-biotics these actually work for me. The only side effect I seem to get is heartburn but better than the pain from infected cyst. | F | 33 | 7 days 250 3X day | 1/14/2014 | 1 | Celtic tonsillitis | I have been up all night with really painful stomach pains(very acidic). I've woken up several times being sick which was like a furry yellow/green colour and tasted like eating a tablet. Worst experience ever!!! | F | 16 | 2 days | 1/14/2014 | 2 | bronchitis | Starting Day 5 (unbearable by Day 6) stabbing pain in back, left side, stomach cramps, joint pain, extreme muscle pain in legs. knees so that I could not walk properly, extreme fatique, oral & vaginal thrush.. Did not complete Day 7 | Was prescribed this as first line drug for bronchitis, do not think it should be prescribed without first trying other antibiotics | F | 50 | 6 days 500mg 1X day | 1/9/2014 | 2 | Infected Sebaceous Cyst | None, surprised at others comments. Had diarrhoea once on second day, but didn't assume it was the medication. | I'm highly allergic to penicillin and also pregnant so options for antibiotics are fairly limited. Although I had no side effects, unfortunately it also hasn't cured the infection. | F | 29 | 7 days 250mg 4X day | 1/9/2014 | 1 | ear infection | Dizzy, lifeless, was sick, queasy, stomach cramps I am limited as allergic to all cillins...told gp I didnt like this and he ignored me… | F | 52 | 2 days 500 x4 day | 1/8/2014 | 2 | Sore Throat | Severe acidity, stomache ache | I have taken it before but the side effects were less. Now I am taking again after six months and jhave very bad heartburn, acidity, stomache ache since the night I started taking these tablets. | M | 23 | 2 days 250 2X day | 12/18/2013 | 2 | sore throat;allergic to penicillin | some stomach cramps | F | 40 | 1 days | 12/15/2013 | 1 | Tonsillitis | Severe chest pain, vomiting, nausea, diarrhoea, stomach cramps, dizziness, loss of appetite. Only took 4 tablets in total out of 56, nearly ended up in a&e. Do not take these! | F | 18 | 1 days 2 tab 4 x | 12/14/2013 | 1 | Chest and throat infection | After the first use had bad stomach pains and was being sick for 3 hours straight. | F | 14 | 5 days 250 | 12/11/2013 | 3 | Infected wound after operation | The drug appears to be working as the wound is leaking less gunge ! However the tablets seem to be knocking me out so tired and lifeless . | M | 45 | 4 days 250Mg 4X day | 12/10/2013 | 1 | Chest infection *penicillin allergy | Severe stomach cramps , dry skin , flushed face & hands, earache & headache, weak, tired& dizzy. Felt worse taking it than I did before it was prescribed. | F | 38 | 7 days | 12/10/2013 | 4 | Sinus Infection | Nausea, cramping, sleep disturbance due to upper abdominal pain that felt like chest pain and back pain. Gurgling in my stomach that feels like hunger pains. | Worked very fast to alleviate congestion and fever associated with sinus infection. 24 hours into medication the sinus symptoms are probably 75% better already. Hope I can make it through all 10 days with the side effects though. Based on some suggestions here I will try yogurt and increased carbs. | F | 39 | 10 days 500MG 2X day | 11/19/2013 |
