I was prescribed this medicine for my first UTI. My teenage daughter once took it for a sinus infection and bronchitis and had so much stomach pain she had to stop at day 3.

My 3 year old daughter broke out into severe hives after about 5 days of treatment. We were in Hawaii at the time, made for a terrible trip.

My 10 y/o son was taking this medicine and he broke out in a rash all over his face. I thought it was from swimming but I see that it has not cleared up any.More research should be done on this medicine.

The medicine did cause my son to have some diarrhea but so do most antibiotics. Around the time the 10 day treament ended, my 14 month old son began bruising and bleeding under his skin on his face(little red dots), and ended up spending the night at the hospital with a very low platlet count. If he hit his head his brain could bleed leading to stroke of even death.

This medicine was prescribed for my 4 yr old daughter and after 4 days of use she developed diarhea, stomach cramps and red spots/rash that "itched","hurt" and "burned" her. Her UTI went away but these side effects were a terrible flip side of the coin too
