| Add Cefazolin review I was not aware that I was allergic to this med and have had a red rash around my torso for 6 days and does not seem to be any better. Have seen my Family MD and am taking Hydroxyz tab 25mg to stop the itiching and hives associated with the injecjection of cefazolin iv. have had many types of antibotics but have never had yhis type of reaction. Would recommend another type of pre surgery antibotic if possible i was given this drug in the hospital for a infection i had while pregnant. almost didn't make it through the night . The medicine is being used to prevent infection after my surgery. The only side effect I have had is nausea. Besides that the medicine as worked very effectively. | Add Cefepime review Comment: I am in my 4th week of 6, the taste this drug leaves in my mouth is medicinal. No food taste edible, it causes nausea,headache and chills. I am in my 4th week of 6, the taste this drug leaves in my mouth is so medicinal and wretched that no food taste edible, it causes nausea, no amount of tooth brushing or gargling will get rid of it. It has made me vomit, I get chills, I just started getting a sore throat and can't swallow. This drug has horrible side effects that they really play down. I am going to ask my Dr. to prescribe something else. It was my forehead bone that was infected and it has been removed, so I don't know why I need to suffer more by taking this nasty drug. only been on for 4 weeks,suffered for 5 years with mrsa and pseudomonas,colonized in both hips due to brown-recluse spider bite.praying it will cure me.nausea,tiredness some weight loss.will all be worth it if it works.have been on too many iv anti-biotics that haven't worked.if anyone has serious infections,get to a dr that will get you on correct anti-biotics asap,i have just about lost my legs over this.numerous surgeries ect.i pray god will finish curing me now,and he will use this medication. | |||
