Comment:
This medication has been a god-send for me. After recently discovering allergies to Penecillan & Sulfa, my doctor prescribed this for sinus/bronchitus infection. Started working immediately and have no side effects whatsoever. Other than the fact it is so big, breaking in half makes it alot easier to take. Would definately reccomend this!!

It does cause some stomach distress, but not nearly as bad as erythro. I cannot imagine how it could cause hallucinations? as some of the other reviewers have stated, but a few stomach aches and a headache for the first day or two are the on
