    Doctor prescribed me 1 250mg tablet a day for 5 days. It was a load of crap and did not do anything to help with my sinus infection or my Upper Respitory Infection.

    Dr. prescribed this for an upper respiratory infection, 500 mg. tablet, one a day for three days. Has worked great - felt better after the first tablet. Have had some stomach gurgling and minimal diarrhea, but overall less side effects than other antibiotics I have taken.
