I was prescribed a 14 day pak and took it for 8 days. Now 9 days later I am still having severe side effects. It was prescribed for a severe sinus infection 6 wks after sinus surgery. I can only sleep 3 hrs at night, my lymph nodes in my arm are grossly swollen, my arms and legs are in constant pain (feels like icy hot), trembling, profuse sweating, resting pulse of 96 bpm, racing heartbeat, headache, and it's caused me to get thrush infection in my throat and mouth. I am going back to dr today to try to get some relief. I'm glad this medicine helps some people but for me it is a nightmare and I wish I'd never heard of it!Read More Read Less

This medicine was prescribed for a rash and itching. It has been wonderful. I feel better than I have in years. It's helped my COPD and arthritis also.
