I have been prescribed this medication many times for tooth absesses or infections and it is the only one that cures my problem. Regular penicillin drugs never helped me at all. This also unlike the penicillin drugs will not give you a yeast infection and I never had any side effects.

I have had a UTI in which CIPRO was not effective anymore. Please note I get UTI's about once a year. My urologist put me KEFLEX which in working and has gotten rid of the UTI. The only side effect I had was two days of diarrhea on start of medication in which I took Immodium A-D for and now all is well in the land of oz. :)

I got this prescribed from the free clinic. I thought I had herpes. I think I have psorasis *sp. It made the red spots on my hand go away that are only relieved by hot water. Also cleared up the spots on my penis. Within 4 days they were almost completely gone. As soon as I stopped taking it,within a month the lesions reoccured. Hopefully,I get another prescription. I did have sickness while taking it,but after 3 days my body adjusted. I had some loss of appetite, minor headaches. However,making my hands stop itching,and clearing up my genitals far outweighed the nausea.Read More Read Less

This drug is a life saver for me. I get side effects from almost every drug I ever take but Keflex caused no problems at all. I am very happy to find this drug!

This is the worst drug I have taken for a bacteria infection ever. I vomited non stop with-in hours. I itched non stop, headache, dizziness etc. Worse then the infection. Never again!
