Comment:
I was prescribed this medication in preparation for a tooth extraction. However, I was lucky I made it through the dental procedure because I was so sick at my stomach. On this second day, I am experiencing severe heartburn. Plus, the gas and bloating have made working in the office today difficult if not embarassing.

This medicine made me sick from the first day I took it. When I was done taking it, I ended up back in the dr's office with nausea and a sore throat.
