I used this medication for a tooth abscess. I used it only for 4 days when I developed SEVERE stomach pain and diarrhea. I stopped it immediately. It has been 3 weeks since stopping it and I still have severe diarrhea.

I started taking this medicine and within an hour of taking it, the nausea, and abdominal pains started. By the second day, the abdominal pains worsened, and became unbearable. I became very bloated, and this medicine was very uncomfortable and ineffective.

Effectiveness, yes. Easy to use, sure, eat before taking and swallow the pill, easy. Satisfaction, NO WAY! One does and 18 hours later I was feeling much better. Then the rash started, and the itching, and then the hot sensation. I was lucky a co worker had benedryl. I do not have reactions to drugs and I really reacted to this one.

Dr. prescribed 1 tablet (400MG) 4 times a day for 10 days, by the third day my cough had greatly subsided, by the fifth day no more mucus & a very light cough. I'm on the ninth day still a light cough but I can sleep! I did suffer from nausea but it was worth it.

I discovered that I was allergic to this medication. It caused a severe rash and the inability to breathe. I required emergency treatment.

Prescribed by my Denist starting 2 hours before the procedure. I had requested a different antibotic, but he refused. With in 48 hours all the bad things others described and I had progressed to shock. Almost died. That this stuff away from Denists. My Internest said he never uses it because too many people have bad reactions.

My dentist prescribed Erythromycin 500 MG Filmtababb for me since I am allergic to pcn and sulfa. I took four tablets one hour prior to my apt. and within minutes I had severe stomach pain, nausea. It got worse all day today. I can't stand light, my sinus is so dry I can hardly breath through my nose, I have a cluster headache with pounding and pain. I can't sit or stand long without getting sick, or feeling sick. I have been in bed all day. I looked this up thinking they may have given me the wrong medication at the pharmacy, but it is the right one. I am having stabbing pains in my chest with pressure.Read More Read Less

I was prescribed this by my dentist for an abscess. However, I experienced abdominal pain, bloating, sleeplessness, nausea and diarrhea. It also does not seem to work very effectively, I have taken it on more than one occasion with no result. But I am allergic to penicillin, so this was the recommended alternative.
