"This is an incredible medication, I regret not taking it sooner due to listening to bad reviews on this website. It is a great medication and very effective on getting rid of bacterial infections of the urinary tract, skin, even ear infection. I had only one side effect and it was slightly full stomach I did not have nausea nor did I vomit or anything of that nature. How I experienced NO discomfort. I’m not a doctor but many people including myself have used real life experience to conclude the way to use this medication with no side effects. Not telling anyone what to do but this is what I did, I ate a cup of rice before every dose so that my stomach did not become irritated and it worked. I also drank 8 oz of water with it. Lastly, 2 hours AFTER dosing I took a probiotic called Culture from CVS, it contains LGG which is a bacteria that is helpful for the gut and keeps you from having diarrhea very effective! You guys need to get this probiotic it works so well."

"I had a bad kidney infection and was prescribed this in the ER to take 3 times a day for 7 days, I hardly had any side effects at all. The only ones I had were a yeast infection, really bad nightmares, and some sneezing. Other than that I love this and would definitely take it again, kidney pain was gone within 2 days."

"Had bad kidney infection, given MacroBID for 3 days, after 2 days wasn't working given another 4 days worth. After another 2 days still wasn't working called online private doctor prescribed Keflex 500mg 3 times day 7 days. Kidney infection calmed down after 2 days wasn't sure if it was doing anything for bladder infection, still had pain and discomfort throughout 7 day course. Side effects severe itchiness particularly torso. When finished course still had bladder discomfort but worse was itch! 2 days later the itch on body gone but hands and fingers were still really bad constant itching, scratching skin raw. Read that Keflex stays in system for 72 hours. Have had muscle pain throughout course which confused about whether kidney infection getting better as back muscles hurt. No stomach problems. Can say Keflex sorted kidney infection not sure about bladder infection"
