At first beginning the prescription, I had nausea and headache.. after a couple days, shortness of breath.. day 5, it began causing a new horrific problem .. a burning rash feeling all over different parts of my upper body. Which included my shoulders, neck, face, hands, arms, head. I was so uncomfortable tonight, I had to use an ice pack along with oral & topical steroids. & Even those weren't completely relieving the painful burning!
Sad part is, I even asked the E.R. DR if this medication could be contributing to my allergic reaction, during my visit to urgent care today. A reaction I THOUGHT was unrelated, but another issue caused by a hair mask I had an allergic reaction to 2 weeks ago. His response was not likely? When in fact, my symptoms are exactly what adverse side effects this medication is known for!
If I hadn't researched this myself, realizing I've never had a reaction this extreme.. I'd of continued taking this another day & a half ..at which point, who knows how bad my skin reactions would've escalated by then!
Physicians should be better at connecting symptoms to obvious adverse medication reaction!
It seems to helped my UTI but the side effects are certainly not worth ever taking it again. I hope I don't get worse. Read More Read Less

Taking this med for an infection after I had hip replacement surgery. Immediately I got chills, nausea, washed-out flu-like symptoms. Spent 3 days in bed. Definitely think this was allergic reaction. Reported to the prescribing Dr.

I have a sinus infection & didn't feel good to begin with. On this med for 6 days and have felt worse as each day goes by. Nausea, headache and loss of appetite. I know you can have these symptoms with a sinus infection however, they have become much worse.

The Vet gave me this for my rotti when she had surgery on her toe nail. Had to keep wrapped up for 4 days. Seems like she is doing good. No signs of infection! I know that this Drug kept her infection free - especially she has a history of low ammune system. I highly recommend this drug.
