This drug was prescribed by my dentist for an absessed tooth. The drug is horrible in that it caused me to have severe heartburn. Published: April 23, 2008 ::

My daughter was in pain for five days and in the isolation unit at the hospitol for an infection that was caused by taking this drug. She needs to take stuff for her stomach and another drug to fix it. Published: February 24, 2008 ::

I had a tooth extraction, and developed a bacterial infection along with dry socket. I took 300mg capsules 4xday x 6 days. It cleared up the infection quickly. I had no stomach upset, even though I have an old stomach ulcer. I am a nurse, and have seen this drug prescribed many times for various bacterial conditions.. I would recommend it. I personally have many drug allergies, and had no problems with this drug. Published: March 07, 2009 ::

My 7 year old son has had acute sinus infections for over 3 years. He has stayed on antibiotics almost the entire time. Now on this one, they said was the best, still no help! It tastes and smells like month old garbage and he has to take 1TBSP 3x a day for 21 days. Hasn't helped us at all!! Published: March 02, 2008 ::

Comment from: 0-2 Male on Treatment for 6 months - 1 year (Patient)

My son went through 5 rounds of cleocin (where the infection would appear to go away, then come back a few weeks later) before we found out that the MRSA was reisitant to cleocin. It tasted like gasoline and got impossibly thick if it got cold. Published: October 30, 2007 ::

Comment from: tazber, 45-54 Female on Treatment for less than 1 month (Patient)

I read the reviews here before taking this med. I was okay the first few days and thought I'd be one of the lucky ones, without the side effects. I wasn't. Day 3 I have the most awful heartburn I have ever had in my life! I drank extra water as suggested and feel like I'm getting worse instead of better. I will no longer take this medicine at all. I don't normally write reviews & do what my doctor suggests but this drug isn't worth the side effects. Published: September 26, 2008 ::

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

I took this medicine for a tooth infection and after 3 days developed severe diarrhea, stomach cramps and vomiting to the point where I had to go to the emergency room for an IV. In my opinion this is a very dangerous drug and who knows how long it will take to get it out of my system. I had to stop taking it before the dose was completed - after 5 days off the drug I still feel awful. Published: February 12, 2009 ::
