After being provisionally diagnosed with a UTI/kidney infection I took the tablet as prescribed. Within 3 hours I experienced a severe headache and extreme nausea.Bloating/stomach ache. So bad I needed to take mersondyl forte . (strong anti-nausea /pain relief.) Also strong metallic taste in mouth about 1-2 hrs after taking this med. Tingling (Slight in the mouth). My advice is to take cautiously as it has strong side effects if you are going to experience them. My partner was ready to take me to emergency it felt so bad. Having said all this i woke the next morning feeling a little better so continued on meds 300mg daily at night. Now late day 2 and nausea returned and tiredness . plus muscle aches, particularly in thighs. Will see GP tomorrow to discuss whether to change meds.

Same prescription same terrible outcome! This time ended up in emergency room. Clearly I am not only person with this reaction. As a common reaction, this should be listed upfront, so doctors don't misdiagnosis it,as happened to me.

The tablets seemed to clear the infection but I was left feeling like a zombie, total fatigue and some nausea. Stopped after 5 of 7 day course and immediately felt better.
