"On Wednesday, June 28, I had a surgical procedure where 'CEFAZOLIN' was administered via IV. My reaction was 'curse, swear, curse LOUDER' as it felt like FIRE coursing through my veins! I also didn't know that taking the prescription for 'CEPHALEXIN/750 mg 2x/day' for a 5-day course would result in a HORRIBLE RASH - left arm/right arm/all across my upper back... I DIDN'T THINK this would happen since I had been on [Cephalexin; similar drug @ a lower dose] a few years ago. I believe it 'could have been the IV ADMINISTRATION' of the [related] CEFAZOLIN. I am EXTREMELY UNCOMFORTABLE dealing with this 'ALLERGIC RASH REACTION' that came on within 24 hrs of finishing the course, (Not Uncommon.) That's my review. EVERYTHING isn't FOR EVERYONE."
