I got really sick for two days after starting this medication. Headaches, nausea, chills then diarrhea. Don't know it it was flu or not since 5 days prior I was around someone with the flu, taking them soup. Still have mild headache but ibuprofen helps.

After taking the first dose, I started feeling better. There was gas to put up with and then some diarrhia. I took some probiotic and that helped. One more dose to go and I am good.
