User Reviews for Omnicef oral

Felt blah during the 10 days I had to take this medication. Developed a raspy throat and cough. Digestive troubles started about mid way through the treatment. No energy, just wanted to stay under the covers and sleep.

my 9 year old son was on this drug for 2 weeks for a severe sinus infection. he has lost numerous days of school do to the side effects. He has had extreme stomach cramps, nausea, very running stools. Very misarable. He was suppose to take it for 1 month but I took him off, and have had to make 2 extra trips to the doctor along with blood work and stool cultures to find out it was the side effects of this drug. I would not recommend this drug.

I would not recommend this drug to anyone because the side effects are horrible and painful! I was given this medication to treat a sinus infection. I had taken it in the past without any side effects, however this time was different and I had to stop taking the drug. On the 4th day I developed SEVER abdominal cramps that raidated into my chest, headaches and nausea. The abdominal pain was so bad I was doubled over. It's been 2 weeks since I stopped taking the drug, and I am still having the abdominal pain and think I may have developed an ulcer. I have been going through a lot of antiacids to help control the pain and it seems to work a little. I made an appointment to see my doctor next week about my ongoing problems with this drug. I think I may have been given this drug because of drug interactions; I am on a lot of other powerful medications to treat RA. Again, because of the side effects, I WOULD NOT recommend this drugRead More Read Less

I was given this medication to treat a sinus infection and an ear infection. I have had an upset stomach now for almost the entire time I have been on this medication as well as I am slightly lightheaded and feel a strain in my eyes which causes headaches. I have three days left and am gonna stick it out but I'm not seeing full results. I am still having problems with my ears.

have been on Abx for 6 days with little relief of symptoms

The day I took the last dose, I developed severe hives that lasted for a week. Its been a month since that happened and I'm still experiencing minor hive outbreaks. I will never use this medication again.

Caused upset stomach, diarrhea, dizziness, and headache. Not real impressed with results. 10-days out and still struggling with original symptoms.

Day 6,got diareha vomits dizzy vaginal yeast infection thrush and severe abdominal pains...NEVER will use this again...sick as dog..thought I was dying.

Have been giving this to my 20 month old for 5 days for strep throat. She has had "manly" amounts of diarrhea for 3 days. She has had at least 12 bouts of explosive diarrhea in the last 24 hours, which has caused severe diaper rash. Will never use this again!!!

My 10 month old daughter was prescribed this for an ear infection after amoxicilin didn't work. SHE REACTED HORRIBLY TO THIS DRUG. About 2 hours after giving her 1st dose she became incrdibly cranky and tired, refused to eat, and went to bed quite early. She woke up at 3:30 AM with a 101.8 degree fever that Tylenol struggled to get rid of. I gave her a 2nd dose and same reaction again except this time it was accompanied by a awful diaper rash. Sores, inflamed red skin, it was bad and it took a long time to heal. One side effect that apprently is harmless is very red stools. This shocked me! I thought she was bleeding! But she wasnt. It also caused her tummy to hurt. I will NEVER allow my daughter to take this drug ever again. She is on cefprozil and is having no reaction to it. I will be so glad when this infection clears and we won't have to deal with it anymore. They say the pros of cefdinir is that you only have to give it once a day and it tastes the best... well i would much rather give my daughter a med twice a day and put fruit in it to make it taste better than to give her this drug that really caused an upset after just ONE DOSE. I should have not given her the 2nd dose but her pediatrician urged me to. After the 2nd and the same reaction with that rash I went and got a 2nd opinion and a different antibiotic.

My 7 year old daughter had a severe allergic reaction after taking omnicef for nine days. After being off of the medication for 6 days she developed serum sickness. This resulted in very painful swolen joints and difficulty walking. My intention is that other parents will read this and just pay attention and look out for the signs and symptoms of allergic reaction.

I experienced abdominal pain, dizziness, and low-grade fever with this.

It was prescribed to my 15-month-old for the first(and last) time. It gave him the worst case of diarrhea he's ever had AND a horrible case of diaper rash that included sores! I stopped giving it to him immediately and it took 3 days for the rash to clear up.

This medication was precribed to my 6 month old son to cure his ear infection. I gave him his first dose before he went to bed and he woke up the next morning with blood in his stool. We had to take him to the ER and they had to take an X RAY which we later found out was totally unecessary. It was a horrible experience, and I had no idea that there were such serious side effects.

Usually a good med for my 4 y/o daughter's ear infections. This was given to her for 10 days, went back and still had it, JUST as bad. Was scripted for Augmenten(?sp?) for 10 days. Went back after that one and it was still there. Now on Bactrim and am running fevers, does not seem any better. ENT apt for end of month for poccible tubes.

years of chronic sinusitis nothing being effective, this drug is. I do have to take it 21 days but the only side effect I notice is poor bladder control which is non existant when off the drug so there must be a corelation. Good drug for sinus

this was one of the anitobiotics that my daughter was prescribed after having her ear infection. She was prescribed 3 different at different times of course and it was the only one that worked. She loved the taste and was extremly easy to give. I didnt have to wrestle her to give it to her. It really made my life easier.

I have two children that took this drug, and it was ineffective. We had to switch to a different antibiotic.

Works great - would use it again
