I was prescribed this medication for Cellulitis and infection of my lower right leg. So far it seems to work just fine. I read the other reviews and there was no mention that it seems to work like a diuretic and causes extreme cramping. It maybe my other meds, but I didn't experience these until I started this medication.

72 y/o male paraplegic, 170 #, taking this for Staph. Aureus (& Diflucan=candiasis) for Osteomyelitis, wound infection of coccyx (tail bone). Was switched from IV oxacillin for 30 days until he has muscle flap surgery at end of this month. Though taking 1 hr before or 2 hr after meals, still has nausea and belching which causes bad taste of drug, coming up from his stomach. Urine has had rust-colored sediment resembling sand; maybe this sediment is kidney stones or a discoloration normal sediment caused by the medication or interactions with medications he takes. (Also on warfarin, Vitamin C, multivitamin and Ditropan.)Read More Read Less

Used for mastitis. Wiped out the flu-like symptoms within 36 hours. Took some planning to be sure I was not eating too close to next dose.

I was told my infection on my mouth would clear up in a few days along using an antibiotic cream,bactroban cream. My infection seems to be getting worse instead of better & it's spreading. The scab is gone but my mouth & face feel burnt & it's swollen.

I had cellulitis. It worked very well for that. The pain was gone within a day and the area was healed around day 4. However, it was about that time when I developed a burning sensation in my throat. It burned all day and even more a couple hours after taking this drug. This hurt more then the cellulitis did. I would not recommend its use to anyone!

I take this medication for Acute Cellulitis in upper thighs. This medication is for skin issues and bacterial infections. It works wonderfully and quickly for me with no side effects at all. I would be miserable without it, when needed.

I was stung by a bee and the area around the sting was extremely red and my ankle was swollen. My doctor put me on the medication on Monday and by Friday I noticed my face looked a bit swollen and my neck had a rash that itched like crazy. Saturday when I woke up my skin around my eyes were swollen and itchy, the left side of my face is numb and tingling and I have hives/rash. Will not take this medication again.

Took it for Mastitis and it cured the mastitis right away but 4 days into treatment I had severe abdominal pain and diarrhea. I was incapacitated longer with the drug than I was the Mastitis.
