User Reviews for penicillin V potassium oral

after taking medication for about a day, I started experiencing cold or flu like symptoms. I continued for about 2 and a half days before stopping taking, after which I slowly started feeling better. The worse symptom was the constant upset stomach,and just plain sick feeling. Not sure if it helped after root canel, but wanted to see if tat was what caused me to get sick, Maybe semi allergic?

prevention of infection of the heart following open heart surgery, medication taken prior to dental procedure. It seems to cause aches and pains in the wrist and shoulder joints also some upsetting of the stomach.

I was prescribed this medication for an infection (extraction of wisdom tooth). To my surprise, I'm finally allergic to some type of medication. 4 more days to complete taking this rx, I break out with a very light rash on my chest. It really came out when scrubbing away in the shower. Everything else worked out fine but this light rash. I was told to discontinue taking it and was prescribed a new rx called Clindamycin 150MG Capsules. So, here I go again.... Another 2 weeks of taking pills.....Read More Read Less

This medication has worked very well with me. I had a really bad case of strep, bad enough I had to get an IV at the ER. I was given a RX of Penicillin VK 500MG, two tablets by mouth twice a day. It helped me tremendously. I have only taken it for 2 days but it has already helped my lymph nodes go down..not to mention they were huge! I haven't had anymore fever either. If any thing changes I will be sure to get back on here and let eveyone know. But for now, I feel great!

Medicine worked, symptoms returned after the 10 day prescription, so went back to the doctor for more, and after 2 weeks, no return so far!

I was on this drug for 7 days b4 having teeth pulled. 5 more days of drug and awaken to severe body itching. Now off drug for 6 days and have puffy eyes. Iv'e had penicillin many times b4 and never had more than a yeast infection after use.

it's fine

Liquid-has very bad taste!

It made my tooth (infected wisdom tooth) feel better within the first 24hrs, but the taste and smell of the pill makes me want to gag. Has caused some stomach pain, but nothing bad enough to make me stop taking it yet.

The smell and taste are horrible, but it does work pretty well.

Works as well if not better than very expensive drugs, and for about 5.00!

I began the medication and my entire face swelled up, I had to stop using it after 4 doses. I have never been allergic to any medications but they told me to stop taking it.

Helped me heal up after a mild infection of a wisdom tooth extraction site. If you're prone to yeast infections (women), ask the proscribing doctor to proscribe something to combat that, however...I've had to treat 3 times for my penicillin caused yeast.

MY PAIN WENT AWAY IN MY TEETH BUT THE SIDE EFFECTS THE LAST 2 TIMES i USED THIS MEDICINE NOW i KNOW IT WAS THIS MEDICATION. i HAD A VERY CRAMP Y STOMACH VERY BAD GAS AND UPSET STOMACH, MY FACE IS PUFFY AND i BURNED IN THE TANNING BED WHICH i NEVER EVER DO.

In use for prevention from tooth extraction (wisdom teeth) I guess it's been helpful. It smells terrible and has made my urine smell, but beyond that I have no problems.

I was given this for Strep throat and after the 1st 24 hrs I felt a lot better. I have recovered a lot faster than my husband who is allergic to penicillin and had to take a z pac. It does have a nasty after taste but I have not had any side effects at all.

The pain from my strep throat significantly decreased with the first 24 hour dose (I could swallow/eat the second day).
