after taking medication for about a day, I started experiencing cold or flu like symptoms. I continued for about 2 and a half days before stopping taking, after which I slowly started feeling better. The worse symptom was the constant upset stomach,and just plain sick feeling. Not sure if it helped after root canel, but wanted to see if tat was what caused me to get sick, Maybe semi allergic?

I was prescribed this medication for an infection (extraction of wisdom tooth). To my surprise, I'm finally allergic to some type of medication. 4 more days to complete taking this rx, I break out with a very light rash on my chest. It really came out when scrubbing away in the shower. Everything else worked out fine but this light rash. I was told to discontinue taking it and was prescribed a new rx called Clindamycin 150MG Capsules. So, here I go again.... Another 2 weeks of taking pills..... Published: March 02, 2009 ::

This medication has worked very well with me. I had a really bad case of strep, bad enough I had to get an IV at the ER. I was given a RX of Penicillin VK 500MG, two tablets by mouth twice a day. It helped me tremendously. I have only taken it for 2 days but it has already helped my lymph nodes go down..not to mention they were huge! I haven't had anymore fever either. If any thing changes I will be sure to get back on here and let eveyone know. But for now, I feel great! Published: February 27, 2009 ::

Comment from: 25-34 Female on Treatment for less than 1 month (Patient)

It made my tooth (infected wisdom tooth) feel better within the first 24hrs, but the taste and smell of the pill makes me want to gag. Has caused some stomach pain, but nothing bad enough to make me stop taking it yet. Published: December 18, 2008 ::

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

Actually mine is Penicillin VK 250mg. After 48 hr. The swelling of my tonsils has went down some but you can still see and feel them. I have a headache, fever came back 102.4. I have a gland on the side of my neck that has swollen, it wasn't there yesterday. I'm still getting hot then cold. I still can't eat, my mouth hurts like I may have sores in there. I came on here to get side effects, I couldn't find my papers from the pharmacy. So, according to webmd.com these are my side effects I am experiencing... nausea, mouth sores, head pain, feel like throwing up, stomach cramps, new fever, and tongue swelling. Please pray that I get better. Thank you all. Published: December 16, 2008 ::
