Amoxicillin "I am a patient with a cold and cough. Whenever I am exposed to cold for more time without proper covering my body, I get cold and coughing. I immediately start bronchitis effect. I start coughing. I feel very nervous and feel very sick. No mood for doing any activity. Feel tired and body ache. This situation remains for a very long time if I don't take medicine, and ultimately it goes away quickly if I start antibiotics. Amoxicillin is the most effective drug for my bronchitis. It starts effect from the very first pill. I feel very comfortable after the prescribed dose is finished. I take MOXIKIND-CV 625 in India. It does not have any side effects for me. I wonder why Indian doctors treat me with the drug that contains Cefixime whenever I suffer from bronchitis. It is never effective at all and ultimately I need to take Amoxicillin, and immediately I get relief from my painful bronchitis. Thanks to Amoxicillin."

"The drug was effective after the seventh day, I was suffering from tonsil stones and a sore throat, probably strep throat. On the seventh day, it's gone, and the only reaction I had with the drug was an upset stomach."

"Many more side effects than usual. (875 mg for 10 days) I always ask for this, and I normally give this antibiotic a 10/10 because it cures anything for me by the morning of day 3. I'm on the morning of day 4, and I only feel slightly better because of the side effects I've never had: too much fatigue, complete loss of appetite, lightheaded in the sun, noticeably unfocused, cramps so bad that I'm too afraid to eat solid food, canker sores healing too slowly, poor sleep. Will be going back to Urgent Care if I still feel this tired by day 5."

"Prescribed 15 tablets of amoxicillin to take over 5 days. Prior to commencing the course, I suffered very excruciating chest pain, which disappeared after taking 2 tablets. However, after taking a further 6 tablets, I suffered 4 severe attacks of very watery diarrhea, so, on my doctor's advice, I discontinued the treatment. For clearing the severe pain, I would give it 10/10, for the diarrhea, 0/10."

"Have used other brands in the past, but this case used Sandboz 500g. Absolutely rubbish. Shocked that they are allowed to sell this product."
