Comment:
This drug is terrible. Sure it will get rid of sinusitis, but your risk of getting C. Diff is dangerously high. Something needs to be done about the super bug. No one deserves to suffer that much.

This medication has worked very well for me. I noticed a difference within the first couple days. Question: Is it possible for this medication to cause me to lose my sense of taste? At first I thought it was a result of the sinus infection, but I just finished the meds this morning and am hoping that my sense of taste returns.

Comment:
I was given a 14 days RX for twice daily. It really helped my sinus infection, earache and sore throat, but after 5 days, the left side of my face broke out in a terrible rash. I thought it was my illness since everything hurt on the left side of my face only. However, I stopped taking it on the 8th day and my rash disappeared so I guess I am allergic to this medication.
