    Took a 6 day course and on the 9th day, I developed extremely bad hives. They cover every part of my body. I have been given a steriod shot and pack, but no relief yet. Ask your doctor for another drug!

    Turns out I'm allergic to it. After 1 week of my 2 week course, I broke out into head to toe hives. With bendryl and zyrtec, it didn't bother me but it didn't look pretty. Knocked the sinus infection right out. Would be very happy for it if not for the hives.

    I was freaking out today, because the rash I noticed on my legs had spread. I was trying to think what had changed in my routine and then I remembered my doctor told me you could develop a rash from this medicine. It does not itch, but I feel better knowing that other people have experienced the same thing and that it is probably due to the medicine. This rash developed on the last day I took the ...

    Was prescribed the 7 day dose for a sinus infection. Took it for a few days with no relief. A week after switching off this medication a rash formed over my entire body. It doesn't itch, but it's spreading all over and looks really awful.
