I was prescribed this (generic version) for sinus infection. Completed 10 days of Novamoxin-Amoxicillin(3 tablets x 500 mg/day). 2 days later completing it, had a severe allergic reaction (bad hives, itching, rash). Went to emerg, it was that bad. Now day 9 after break-out: still itchy, but less (it's migrating), rash is diminishing, but am advised it could take up to 6 weeks for these to go ...

The day after I finished the course of pills I got a terrible rash which developed into hives from head to toe. The swelling took a day to go down and the red blotches will take longer to go.

Within 3 doses I experienced severe diarrhea that has persisted for two weeks. The only relief is large doses of acidophilus. I was told to stop the treatment immediately but the damage is done.

It was extremely easy to stomach. The liquid form even tasted pretty good, making it a great antibiotic for kids to take. Best of all, it worked to get me back to health.

For general sinus infections this seems to work. But for accute infections I have had to go to medrol dose pack or something stronger. I do have consistent allergy problems.
