Was given this for a stye infection on my eye. It was swelling above my eyelid and below my eyebrow. In the mornings, I woke up with my eye almost swollen shut. So, after I got this, it only took a few days for it to totally go away. I had no problems with stomach aches or any other side effects.

I had this prescribed to me for my ingrown hairs and ingrown toenail. The Only bad thing is the stomach aches, even after eating.

Although I did have some minor nausea/diarrhea while taking the drug, it worked quickly to clear up the sinus/ear infection for which it had been prescribed.

This works, but the stomach pain & nausea are bad side effects. Even taken with food, this drug causes me problems.
