The bladder infection became worse after the medication and on top of that I broke out from head to toe and itched insanely. I also became swollen and had the flu like symptoms also. The side effects last for many weeks. I will never take this again and would not recommend it to any one! My doctor said that it could be extremely dangerous for me to ever take this again!

Unsure if infection has cleared waiting for culture results. Pain and burning with urination increases with administration of this drug. Was clear today with acupuncture and herbs, but when he took the antibiotic, pain and burning returned within 3 hours and is severe.
