| 1 | Sore throat | Every time I take this medication the right side of my stomach hurts really really bad so bad to where I could barely walk I don't think this is supposed to be one of the side effects I have two more days to go on this pill but I don't think I'm going to be able to make it the pain is unbearable. | F | 38 | 5 days 500 | 2/19/2017 | 2 | Uti | After 12 hours I experienced flu like symptoms, but no fever. All my joints ache. Headache, but it did not persist. However the body aches have continued. I consulted my doctor and he said I could switch medications, but this is the second antibiotic I have tried to treat this UTI and I'm reluctant to try another one. But I feel miserable. | It cleared the infection, but not sure I can handle the joint discomfort. | F | 38 | 2 days 500 | 2/14/2017 | 1 | Strep Throat | I was prescribed this antibiotic to take for 10 days to clear up a strep infection. So far this medicine has made me feel 10x worse. The symptoms I am experiencing are almost 'flu-like'. I have chills on and off, ears and throat hurt so bad I can barely swallow, fatigue, body aches, I'm tired but I can't sleep at night, and I've had a loss of appetite. This medicine is awful. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. The doctor says to finish out the prescribed course though. I don't know if I can make it through the next 6 days of this mess. | F | 31 | 4 days 500 MG 4X day | 2/11/2017 | 1 | UTI | I suffer with M.S and Started taking this after macrobid didnt agree with me , having taken cefelaxin before so thought i would be fine , how wrong was i ?!
