I was prescribed this (generic version) for sinus infection. Completed 10 days of Novamoxin-Amoxicillin(3 tablets x 500 mg/day). 2 days later completing it, had a severe allergic reaction (bad hives, itching, rash). Went to emerg, it was that bad. Now day 9 after break-out: still itchy, but less (it's migrating), rash is diminishing, but am advised it could take up to 6 weeks for these to go away (hopefully less). Drinking water like a fish. Staying away from other antibiotics, using natural ways to relieve the itching etc. I find evenings to be the worst time when allergic reaction symptoms would flare up. I would not recommend using this antibiotic.

I have had no side effects even with a weak diet since my food selection was limited to liquids and soft easy to eat foods. I would recommend this to those who need an antibiotic however this is a larger pill and the plastic coating does have an odd taste to it if not swallowed quick enough.
