Had a cough for over 3 weeks when I started this antibiotic and found out I also had an ear infection. First night terrible upset stomach/pains. Second night experienced diarrhea. Thought about stopping the drug but of course the last three nights, no side effects and felt 110% BETTER.

Comment:
I had a severe allergic reaction to this drug. I broke out in severe rash on my face, neck, chest, and back. I also lost my hearing for many days. I am allergic to Penicillian so my doctor prescribed this instead. I found out that my boyfriend is also allergic to Penicillian and also this medication as well. BE CAREFUL IF YOU ARE ALLERGIC TO OTHER MEDICATIONS!!!
