    just started this for an abcess. I have read some reviews and they are scary. Z-pak worked for 3 days then I switched to this. Used Clindamycin for the same tooth 5 weeks ago from the ER and that was super. Hope this works ok. Took Amoxicillin before that for a root canal and that worked for 3 days.
