    This was prescribed for respiratory and ear infection. Day 7 of the ten day regimen, and I still have cough and ear ache. Plus I am now having hot flashes, excessive sweating and lightheadedness. I am not satisfied, I will not take this medication again.

    Diagnosed with sinusitis and was given this drug. I had previously taken it without problems. It did clear up my infection quickly but on day 5 I developed extremely severe headache and vomiting (headache caused the vomiting). I have never experienced this kind of pain before (even childbirth was a walk in the park).

    I was prescribed Cefdinir for slight sinus infection. Intense Diarrhea started after taking 2 capsules. Dr. said to eat Yogart and take probiotics. I ate yogart 3 times a day for 4 days with probiotics and the diarrhea did not get better. Note on medicine bottle states diarrhea may occur weeks to months after taking drug. Other comments were very helpful.

    Comment:
    This drug immediately caused explosive diarrhea with weakness. I couldn't tolerate this side effect, so I stopped it after 3 days. Six days later I still have diarrhea and weakness and wonder how long it takes for this stop or if it will on its own. This drug is deadly and should be taken off the market.
