I had severe stomach and abdominal pain, and severe diarrea. Published: October 14, 2007 ::

This is the best antibiotic out there for me. It clears my ear congestion up and sinus problems from my allergies better than anything else. I wish more doctors would prescribe this instead of pushing zpack. My internist wants to always prescribe regular amoxicillan and it just doesn't work for me. Published: October 06, 2007 ::

This works, but the stomach pain & nausea are bad side effects. Even taken with food, this drug causes me problems. Published: October 12, 2007 ::

Although I did have some minor nausea/diarrhea while taking the drug, it worked quickly to clear up the sinus/ear infection for which it had been prescribed. Published: November 07, 2007 ::

i was given this antibiotic (875mg) for a sinus infection and my daughter (22 months old) the 600mg suspension for an ear infection. i was reluctant to take it (or give it to my daughter) because of the negative reviews but i have to say that neither of us have had any adverse side effects. not even diarrhea a common symptom of antibiotics. no upset stomach either. it's been one of the easiest antibiotics i/we have taken. and i'm someone that is normally sensitive to medication in general.

My 2 1/2 year old son hated the taste, and it caused severe diarrhea. It also caused severe diaper rash. I was already giving him yogurt before I started the drug to help prevent any stomach upset, but it did not help at all. My son also had alot of gas while he was on this medicine.

Comment from: downtown, 55-64 Female on Treatment for less than 1 month (Patient)

I had a serious sinus infection. It was so bad I was gaging and unable to breathe. This worked great, but now I have to wear a diaper. I don't think this side effect is worth it though. The diarrhea was so bad that I couldn't make it out of my bathroom for the 2nd and 3rd day. It was terrible losing control like that, make sure you have some depends on hand if you have any kind of a life (like a job). Published: March 28, 2009 ::
