    This medicine was prescribed for my 4 yr old daughter and after 4 days of use she developed diarhea, stomach cramps and red spots/rash that "itched","hurt" and "burned" her. Her UTI went away but these side effects were a terrible flip side of the coin too Published: January 28, 2008 ::

    I am 17, when i started to take this medicine i developed nausea. then after several days i developed gas cramps from the medicine along with an upset stomach. I would only recommend this for those who have a strong stomach. Published: September 20, 2008 ::

    Thi si a terrible antibiotic with just one 400mg pill dose i develloped a nasty case of diarrhea which still wont go away.

    The medicine did cause my son to have some diarrhea but so do most antibiotics. Around the time the 10 day treament ended, my 14 month old son began bruising and bleeding under his skin on his face(little red dots), and ended up spending the night at the hospital with a very low platlet count. If he hit his head his brain could bleed leading to stroke of even death. Published: June 03, 2008 ::

    My 2 1/2 year old daughter was prescribed this for a urinary tract infection. Her syptoms seemed to decrease the first 3 days, but before she had even finished the medication we had to go back to the doctor because her symptoms were back full force! It was also incredibly expensive, and I have relatively good insurance. Published: May 12, 2009 ::

    This was prescribed for my 3 year old for a very aggressive and severe pink eye infection. The drug was very effective and worked quickly (as is should for the price). The taste was ok and she did not resist to taking the medicine. On the 3rd day, she did develop a mild case of diarrhea - possibly as a side effect. Published: January 11, 2009 ::

    My 3 year old daughter broke out into severe hives after about 5 days of treatment. We were in Hawaii at the time, made for a terrible trip. Published: September 05, 2008 ::

    My 10 y/o son was taking this medicine and he broke out in a rash all over his face. I thought it was from swimming but I see that it has not cleared up any.More research should be done on this medicine. Published: July 23, 2008 ::

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

    Along with the Suprax 1x/day 400 for 14 days, I took Florastor 2x/day a probiotic which works with antibiotics to restore good yeast in GI trac. I took Align (on going) in the evenings to restore good bacteria. I had the common side effects of Suprax; however, the Florastor reduced the effects after 4 days. Both probiotics are excellent to take in general. Published: July 20, 2009 ::
