Had taken this for Bronchial Infection one year ago & had no side effects & cleared up. However, went thru 10 day dose and got awful diahrrea,body aches,fatigue etc. Still have some congestion remaining & could not wait to finish these pills! Would never take them again...too harsh on my system...still shaky and not doing great.
