    Felt worse after taking, found out few days later the U/A was negitive, probably false due to taking otc pyridium (after asking nurse if it was ok), took too long to get an appointment. ??possible flu or maybe just exhaustion or bad side effects. Fever, chills, diahhrea, fatigue, total exhaustion,, rash, stopped taking.

    Two pills- severe headache- projectile vomiting. I was ready to go to the emergency room in the middle of the night. I think this is a dangerous drug.

    Comment:
    After the 7 day I started getting ill. Headache (severe), chills, fever (102), then hot. Tonight I broke out in a rash on both legs, bottom of feet and both arms. Very severe rash and I am miserable. This drug is not worth what I have been through. Will never ever take this again. (if I survive).
