My doctor prescribed me this drug. This is the first I have ever taking antibiotics or any type medication. During that time i develop this indescribable itch all over my body. soon after that i developed hives, swellings and then lesions all over my body. What was worst, my doctor didn't follow-up with even after I told about my reaction. My skin is ruin, i still have lesions on my skins.

I was only able to take 1, 500mg pill for use of a UTI, leftover. It made me a little sick to my stomach but I felt no UTI symptoms, immediate relief as soon as the pill kicked in.
