Comment:
On the 7th day I broke out in what I thought was just a heat rash all over. After taking steriods for 6 days I feel better but still see the rash and itch when I get over heated. This medicine is horrible and I wish I would have read all these comments before hand. Good luck to you all if it's already too late.

Comment:
After taking FACTIVE for 5 days, I developed a SEVERE, ITCHY RASH all over my entire body. It was unbearable for 3 days, I lost time at work and needed to see a doctor for a cortisone shot and prednisone pills. I have been covered in red spots for the last 5 days.

Comment:
I was prescribed this drug for a upper respiratory infection after surgery. I only took it for 3 days, and started having horrible nightmares that someone was trying to kill me!!! This drug should be taken off the market.

Comment:
I started a 5 day pack on 2/21/09, prescribed by a walk-in clinic. Day 10 I broke out in rash all over my body and ran to my primary physiscian who said I had to wait it out with Benedryl. I will NEVER take this again. I still have a lingering sinus infection so it didn't even clear that up.
