I'm taking this for a sinus infection. While taking the first round, slight stomach discomfort, now on the second round, diarrhea and cloudy/congested feeling in my head. Will not continue for this problem.

I got prescribed it after surgery on my tooth, I was so sick after taking it, couldn't stop throwing up and had stomach cramps. I will never take this again!

Comment:
I was hospitalized with Acute Asthma for 8 days. This drug was given thru IV and then 7 days orally when I came home. I experienced fuzzy vision and my stomach burned, even with food. I've completed the regimen and my stomach still isn't right. I still have a bad taste in my mouth.

Comment:
I'm being treated for an upper respiratory infection. I've just started my second treatment with this medication. Both times I have had diarrhea, restlessness and loss of appetite. The first treatment cleared my sinus infection but still had the infection in my chest, hopefully second treatment will clear both. I'm not sure if I'm satisfied with this drug.
