| Add Augmentin review I had a cocktail shot for my Acute Bacterial Infection of the Sinuses; and prescribe Name Brand--Augmentin 500-125mg 1 tablet Orally Twice a day. Along with other prescribed meds. If you take the Generic Brand of Argumentin, you will have and suffer mild to server side effects because of other inert inactive ingredients to compound them, colors, and added flavors. Generics do not have to prove it ... It cured my infection, but I had severe, unbearable pain in both shoulders, collarbone, upper arms for two months. The doctor finally sent me to a Pain Clinic and a steroid shot in each shoulder relieved the pain. May have been an allergic reaction - inflammation of the blood vessels and muscle pain. I am on my 9th day with augmenten and I feel like the side effects if this drug are worse than the symptoms of sinus infection. I am having anxiety, hot flashes, nauseas , trouble sleeping. I will not be taking this again. This is a HORRIBLE DRUG....I am on day 7 I have had the stomach issues,weakness,anxiety, depression and suicidal thoughts.The sinus infection is not getting any better. Dr still thinks I need to take it but I am seriously thinking of coming off of it. Be very caredul on this drug it can cause a lot of healt problems. | Add Keflex review This drug is very dangerous. I had a relatively minor corrective operation on a toe and was given this presumably as a prophylactic to prevent post-op infection. 1st dose, 1 hour after food, within 30 minutes starting itching all over, hives, rapid heartbeat, tried to get up and passed out momentarily. Symptoms subsided within 30 minutes. There are too many other antibiotics out there to risk this ... Extremely sleepy, Already had a seizure disorder 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. Z-pak at that time worked well. I guess its how bad the infection is. Tooth getting pulled next wee ... Keflex is the ONLY medication, so far that I have ever had a reaction to-- and it was severe and pretty immediate. I broke out in a SEVERE and BURNING (I mean ON FIRE) rash on my entire body-- so bad I could barely wear clothes-- especially underwear-- because the rash was especially bad in that area. I have an infection under my thumb nail (discolored, sore) which has lasted for 3 -4 weeks. This antibiotic doesn't seem to be working. | |||
