Every time I fly , I end up with a bad cold. This medication is effective almost at once for the sinus problems and sore throat I experience.

Within four hours of taking first 500 mg dose of V-pak I experienced diarrhea. The second day I feel tired and started stomach symptoms, no appetite, loose stools. Overall feeling of malaise. Take second dose tonight and then only one more dose. I do think it is has been effective fighting any infection I may have.
