Comment:
By the 3rd pill I was experiencing horrible stomach pain, nausea, and extreme flatulence (gas). I stopped taking it immediately and contacted my doctor who prescrible a different antibiotic. I rarely take antibiotics and have never had a reaction like this. I will never, never, take this antibiotic again.

within 2 days I broke out in hives all over my torso, severe itching on bottom of my feet and palms of my hands. I stopped taking 4 days ago and the hives are starting to fade but the itching is still pretty intense.

After 3rd pill was experiencing severe stomach pain, nausea, vomiting and overall sick. Stopped immediately, called Dr. and was prescribed another drug. Never will I take this medication again. Horrible side effects. Worse than the sinus infection.
