| 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 Ceftriaxone review 14 days after I had been on this medicine, I got the worst allergic reaction of my life. My entire bod has broken out in a bright red rash, and after 3 days it is still spreading after I have discontinued the drug. | |||
