| 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 Omnicef review My 10 months old daughter was given this drug after the 3rd ear infection. After the 1st does itself my baby got rashes all over the body. The doctor asked me to give for 1 more day. It made worse the next day. Tomorrow have to call the doctor and ask again. After our then 6year old took all 10 days worth of medicine he broke out into a rash, itching, entire body started swelling to the point he could hardly walk! After a trip to after hours and one ER trip they finally told us it was the medicine and to never give him this medicine again. Needless to say I wouldn't recommend this to my worst enemy. Our 11 month old son was prescribed this drug for ear infections after several other antibiotics didn't work. After 2 days of taking the drug, he broke out into hives. I will not recommend this drug to anyone. | |||
