| 1 | Open fracture: crush injury | Bloating, stomach cramps, nausea, diarrhea and depression | I have never had any drug reactions or with anything else. Thoroughly disappointed! This should not be on market. | F | 36 | 10 days 500mg | 8/11/2016 | 1 | Folliculitis in the armpit | Severe nausea and stomach pain. Sulfur smelling burps. Super drained and exhausted. | F | 22 | 2 days 500mg | 8/10/2016 | 4 | Preventative after pelvic surgery | While this medicine stopped the bleeding catheter infection, it caused a bunch of other reactions. I had severe diarrhea, went to ER for dehydration and stomach pain. After catheter was removed, I had icy cold chills combined with sweating, crying, exhaustion, and joint pain. Some breathing restriction too. I'm grateful it healed the infection, but it caused a host of other problems I really could have gone without. | F | 48 | 3 weeks 500 mg 4 x | 8/7/2016 | 1 | I have cold | Oh my god please don't take it it have really bad side effect I loss my sense of smell and taste I m so much worried when I will get normal smooch pain headache | F | 25 | 6 days 500 | 7/29/2016 | 3 | Bacteria infection gums and teeth . | Terrible headache, sore throat, always feeling tired & beat ! I'm consider healthy but on this medicine feeling terrible. | M | 60 | 7 days 500 every | 7/24/2016 | 3 | Bacteria infection gums and teeth . | Terrible headache, sore throat, always feeling tired & beat ! I'm consider healthy but on this medicine feeling terrible. | M | 60 | 7 days 500 every | 7/24/2016 | 2 | Infection in mouth (absess) | Very tired. Stomach pain nauseated but mostly tired and feeling drained. | F | 23 | 3 days | 7/18/2016 | 1 | Severe poison ivy | Hyper, a little anxious...turned into insomnia and heartburn...and increasingly emotional. Took probiotics with it. Stopped my course as it was only preventative. Was supposed to be 10 days. | I hate these types of antibiotics. They should not be prescribed. | F | 45 | 5 days 500 4X day | 7/17/2016 | 2 | Skin Infection | Intense headache, tiredness, low energy. | I have never had any side effects from any medications, but this one was really bad. It seems to be working on the infection but it makes it difficult to do any work with the headache and exhaustion. | M | 53 | 2 days 500 MG 3X day | 7/7/2016 | 2 | Pilonidal Cyst | lethargic, cognitive issues, worsened anxiety, heart palpitations, depression, irritability | 1st day: Was super lethargic and depressed 2nd day: Was even more depressed and in the middle of work I started to get real dizzy and my heart started to race. I couldn't breathe and my legs and hands went numb. My boss called an ambulance and they rushed me to a nearby hospital. The entire time I thought I was going to die. It took me about 30-45 minutes to calm down. They couldn't find out what was wrong with me after blood work and CT scans(I think it could've been a panic attack) but after that I still haven't felt right. 3rd Day: I tried to call my Dr. (although it was a weekend so it was a nurse on call) and I had to do the run around from them to the ER to the pharmacist, back to the ER where I got the antibiotics from and they told me to keep taking the antibiotics because they doubted it was a reaction. 4th day: I'm still really dizzy and tired. My hearts still beating really hard (not fast at least) and on and off I feel the sensation of what I felt on day 2, but I'm (hopefully) able to control it. Seriously, if this isn't a reaction then why the hell am I feeling like this when this is the only thing I've been taking?? Also to add note, I was DIRECTED to take it 4 times a day. After day 2 I dropped it down to 3. | M | 23 | 5 days 500 mg 4X day | 7/4/2016 | 2 | Possible uterus infection?? Maybe a | Have nausea, diarrhea and severe joint pain. I'm going to have to call my doctor tomorrow. I can't keep taking this | F | 38 | 7 days 500mg | 6/26/2016 | 1 | Dog scratch as preventative | Extreme stomach pain, total insomnia, feelings of anxiety, dread, losing her mind. | At her age, I do not think this should have been prescribed to my mother as a preventative! She became severely ill (stomach pain) and felt like she was going crazy. | F | 92 | 4 days 500 2X day | 6/26/2016 | 3 | Uti | I am allergic to most antibiotics so hoped this would be ok. Taken it for 3 days .. Feel absolutely exhausted ,and hot . Day one I had a terrible headache but that's gone now. Will continue as other options I have had worse symptons ! | F | 54 | 3 days 250 | 6/19/2016 | 1 | Uti | I had nausea dizziness fever and chills and feeling of dread. Side hurts too and it never started hurting till I took this med. Will never take again | To many side effects to keep on the market. You are trying to get better not worse. | F | 43 | 2 days | 6/12/2016 | 1 | Surgery cut fingers | Anxiety sleep deprivation fatigue I currently take antidepressant I'm more depressed irritabillity | M | 40 | 7 days 500 | 6/11/2016 | 3 | irritation | I'm experiencing unusual chest pains and the itching is almost unbearable | It has somewhat helped my pantyline irritation but not totally and I can't keep taking this med I'm calling my Doctor first thing in the morning | F | 53 | 4 days 250 | 6/5/2016 | 3 | Infected tattoo (I scratched it) | This is the second time taking this. My first was to prevent infection after oral surgery. Never noticed anything (probably because I was in pain already). This time , omg first few days I'm fine. This is day 4 now the joint pain is on the arm of the infection and my fingers feel itchy. Makes it feel like you have the flu. It did cure the infection but guess I'll take it the remainder of the time being as I don't want this to resurface. I thought it was just me having these pains. Didnt notice it was a side effect. | The joint pain is unbearable and the itchy hand is the worst. | F | 36 | 7 days 500MG | 6/2/2016 | 4 | Infection | Cramps, heavier period (I was on it when prescribed), cramps, restless night, really bad sweating. | I have nothing else to say about it.. | F | 16 | 7 days 500 mg | 5/19/2016 | 1 | Strep | Nausea, horrible diarrhea, could smell the antibiotic and taste it all the time, horrible stomach cramps, period came over a week early, splitting headaches, constantly felt tired or worn down, lightheaded, acid reflux, made me plain miserable | Took care of the strep but I have never had side affects from a medicine before this and I seemed to get a bunch of side affects from this one.. Worst medicine I've ever taken | F | 27 | 5 days 500mg | 5/5/2016 | 1 | UTI | GI upset, nausea, headaches, insomnia, loss of appetite, increased thirst... For almost a whole month! | This was the worst experience I've had to a medication, honestly. I was sick for nearly a month. I didn't take the entire medication because I kept complaining to my doctor until she gave me the okay to stop taking it. I seriously felt so sick and miserable that I didn't feel like doing much of anything at all. I took as many probiotics as I could and I still had a lot of GI problems and nausea. On top of all that, it smells like a mixture between rotten eggs and a permanent marker. I don't think I'll be taking this drug again. | F | 20 | 2 weeks 500 mg | 4/23/2016 |
