Comment:
I had a tic bite infection and took this medication. It seems to work but the side effects were uncomfortable, such as stomach ache and the feeling of vomiting at any moment.

Usually I do not recieve any side affects from any medication that I take but, every acute sideaffect I have. I taste of the pill will not leave my mouth, which in turn makes we vomit. Also the drug seems to be not curing my double ear infection.

Comment:
Taken for chronic sinusitus, with a loss of sense of smell and taste. Didn't experience the bad taste, but more of a severe burning in the mouth, and especially the tongue. Helped condition somewhat.

It left a horrible taste in my mouth that would wake me up during the night several times. Would request a different drug if my doctor prescribes this one again.
