Took Cleosin for a week following a dental implant. Infection free but the diarrhea began on the first day and has continued now two weeks since ending the medication. Taking probiotics, eating yogurt and foods that would bind up a river--with no results. Identical thing happened last time I took this med. Neg for C-diff, just a brutal time returning the normal bacteria in my gut. Effective ... Show Full Comment

I was prescribed this drug for an infection found during a root canal. The first 2 days were awful. I could barely eat and I would throw the medicine up within hours of taking it. By day 3, I was ok. TAKE THIS MEDICINE WITH A PROBIOTIC. Try yogurt or a probiotic pill. I am now pain free and able to take the medicine with ease. It works, just give it time.

Day three I am able to see, swelling has gone down some in face, not around the main infected area. The side effects right now is mild headache (but I take half a pain pill doc gave, so that helps), mild bodyache but muscle cream helps ... Show Full Comment

For 3 days I have been taking Cleocrin 300mg 3 times a day. Very bad tooth abscess.My whole right of face was swollen, couldn't even open my eye on that side. Day three I am able to see, swelling has gone down some in face, not around the main infected area. The side effects right now is mild headache (but I take half a pain pill doc gave, so that helps), mild bodyache but muscle cream helps with that. However, I do have that icky medicine taste in my mouth. But coffee helps clear that up. The best times I have found taking this medication is morning, afternoon and no later than 9pm at night. My teeth are bad, have to be cut out. It works. The side effects are bad, but not to many people eat when having an abscess and drinking feels like taboo during the pain. So the side effects are the same as being dehydrated. I suggest warm drinks like tea, warmed milk, coffee and even warm water. I am sorry some have had a bad experience, and I agree, I will not be taking this medication again. But for now to get rid of this swelling and pain, it is tolerable.

Prescribed by my dentist before having a root canal retreated due to an abscess. After two days of taking the medication I began experiencing terrible stomach cramps and diarrhea. I called my dentist who advised me to stop taking it immediately. After looking the medicine up online I am shocked I was given it in the first place. I have a very sensitive stomach and am a small person. This medicine ... Show Full Comment

I called my dentist who advised me to stop taking it immediately. After looking the medicine up online I am shocked I was given it in the first place. I have a very sensitive stomach and am a small person. This medicine is way too strong for someone like me.
