"Note: I took Sultamicillin because Unacid (Unasyn) wasn't available anymore in Germany! I took this for large intestine inflammation. Antibiotics are known to cause diarrhea, but what this medicine causes is not merely diarrhea. It's literal leakage 24/7, or perhaps a new word needs to be invented for it. In my 31 years of life, I've never experienced a diarrhea as worse as the one caused by Sultamicillin for a whole week, to the point where I seriously began to doubt whether I'll ever recover from it, and I lost total control of my stools and was on a diet of only rusk for close to a week. Reading about it online after experiencing this particular side effect, it dawned upon me that quite a few people over here in Germany have complained about this medicine causing a prolonged and totally draining diarrhea. Avoid it at all costs, fellows, avoid it!"
