Prescribed for sinus infection. Within days urine turned dark yellow (like taxicab yellow). Itchy skin, severe gurg (stomach acid regurgitating to throat and burning). Stopped immediately.

After a few weeks liver function tests are finally returning to normal.

Comment:
I've never had a reaction to any medication until now. After 1 day I was getting horrible stomach cramping, loss of appetite, nausea, tired. I stopped after day 3 but I'm still experiencing the same issues. I wouldn't recommend this medication.
