Comment:
I took this for ear and sinus infection--severe abdominal pain even after cutting the dosage back to 1/4--after day 4 I stopped--never reacted to plain amoxicillin-don't know why it is mixed with other ingredients--will not take this again--only plain amox or cipro for me

Comment:
On second day of use (twice a day) and I feel so much better! I have been sick for over a month with what I thought was hay fever/allergies trying every over the counter drug, nothing working. This medication is opening my sinus passages making it very easy to get rid of the infection. So far I have not had any side effects but will keep you updated.

Worst medication ever. Been taking it for 4 days and by day 3 I couldn't move. Muscle pain in arms and legs. Stiff neck and a headache from hell. Won't be taking this again. Pain medication won't even help with the pain I am having.
