Comment:
Horrible side effects! Nausea, dizziness, stomach cramps, diahrea, headaches, sleeplessnes, mood swings. Took it for 5 days and my sinus infection got better, but the side effects were so bad that I had to stop taking it (with doctor's permission of course).

Comment:
Although it cleared my infection, I had to stop taking it due to feeling a loss of control of my emotions, followed by feeling weak, dizzy and ready to collapse.
