"Honestly, the worst drug I’ve ever taken. A doctor prescribed me this after a second strep throat infection, and after the third dose, I'm experiencing stomach pain like never before and throwing up every five seconds (dry heaving included). Do not take this drug, do not let a doctor prescribe you this if you’re sensitive in any way whatsoever, and always do your research before taking an Rx."

"Completely useless medication. Been taking this for 5 days and absolutely none of my symptoms have cleared up. This morning, I woke up with a pounding headache, and I am about to throw up. Avoid at all costs."
