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!

READ THE WARNINGS on this drug! I have NEVER had an allergic reaction to any drug prior to my experience with this one. I took this for 7 days, While I was taking it, I did feel 'achy' but decided I was just over tired. Two days after I had finished the drug, I was at my daughters winter concert, got very bad chills, started shaking and spiked a fever. I was up all night very dizzy, next morning a full body rash. I went immediately to my GP in the morning who thought it may be the flu, (although I have had the flu shot), but after a series of questions instead said it was most likely an allergic reaction to the drug. To confirm this, I then went to my dermatologist because of the rash, she also confirmed that it was the side effects of the drug. I have never taken the time to review a drug before, but I really feel you should consider the consequences before taking this. I wouldnt want anyone to experience what I have over the past few days.

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. Not a good drug from all I can read in this post and plus the observation of symptoms. Md's should really become more aware of the variety of side effects of this drug. Many of the side effect listed on this site are not on the handout with the drug. Will never take it or recommend it again. Please note patient is over 75 so treatment is more difficult.
