I began this medication on Tuesday night, after bladder surgery. Wednesday the headachey feeling began, and by nighttime I had severe migraine with piercing pain in my eyes. By morning it subsided. I still had residual headache, but took it a few more times, and now the migraine is back. I am done with this one. Will call doc in AM to prescribe something else.

This antibiotic was remarkable for the infection in my gums. I was severe pain, was unable to get tooth pulled because I couldn't get numb from infection. Dentist's give me severe anxiety so dentist thought it was best to go under general anesthesia and get tooth pulled that way because they may have to cut my jaw bone to pull roots out. Scary! So I'd rather be asleep. I had to wait 5 days until s ...

I took ony 2 pills, 500 mg each for an eye infection, sty. I took 2 pills about 7 hrs apart. I had very dry mouth at night and I had nausea and an extremely bad pounding headache that I have never experienced before. I stopped taking this med. It was horrible. I am only taking the antibiotic drops for the eye.

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 ...

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.
