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

I,m not an expert, but it seemed to clear my chronic sinusitis up while having to take less "pills" everyday. Don't let it dissolve any in your mouth because it doesn't taste to good Published: December 04, 2007 ::

Comment from: 35-44 Female on Treatment for less than 1 month (Patient)

I started a 5 day pack on 2/21/09, prescribed by a walk-in clinic. Day 10 I broke out in rash all over my body and ran to my primary physiscian who said I had to wait it out with Benedryl. I will NEVER take this again. I still have a lingering sinus infection so it didn't even clear that up. Published: March 04, 2009 ::

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

After taking just 2 doses I have developed a rash on hands and stomach. Sinus infection is almost cleared. Published: January 11, 2008 ::

Comment from: MYODB, 35-44 Female on Treatment for less than 1 month (Patient)

Sinus infection is gone, and NOW I know why my physician prescribed steroids: I followed a five-day regimen, and on day 8 I have gotten an extremely disturbing rash. Now that I have read the kind review the rest of you have posted, I will never again take this medication. I am also looking forward to speaking very curtly with my physician.
