| Add Clindamycin review Clindamycin obliterated the good bacteria in my colon. It took nine months of eating yogurt every day to recover. STOMACCH STAYED UPSET,THE WHOLE TIME. MADE ME FEEL WORSE THAN BEFORE TAKING IT. abdominal and back pain made me dizzy and nauseated After I took this medication for the required time I developed moderated diarrhea cramping.This necesttated me taking 2 days off of work due to the diarrhea. the doctor then xtraxted 3 broken teeth and wanted to put me on the medication again- I wasn't told that I could develop diarrhea so I again went on it...and it started again so i stopped it! I went to the doctor with a list of complaints confusion, no energy, general feeling of crap, yellow-green skin, weird rash, can't sleep soundly. I am allergic to this stuff I am positive. doc told me to finish meds. No, I am finding a better listener for a doctor, he is fired! | Add Penicillin review I have taken Penicillin VK for tooth infection. This medication works very effectively for the infection. I have seen many comments on this drug with people saying they are still in pain. Pen VK does not treat the pain of the tooth infection it just takes care of the infection. I would be better to ask your dentist or doctor for a pain medication to take with the Pen VK. The only time Pen VK gives pain relief is when the infection is gone. just started, can't say if its doing what it should. only on my second day and already having bad issues with diarrhea and my throat is really sore. had to miss work, and taking the pill every 6hrs is annoying. I will have to talk to my dentist to see if there is something else with less side effects.. I was prescribed this medication after an attempted root canal,which the doctor broke my tooth,and I ended up getting surgery from another doctor. It was for infection,and worked good in that respect. It was not for pain. | |||
