Cefpodoxime "On my fourth pill of Vantin in a few more hours, and I couldn't believe the rapidity of the healing! I am taking it for Klebsiella pneumoniae, along with Macrobid for Enterobacter bacteria! I have had dry mouth, dry throat, increased thirst, slight ringing in ears that has passed, headache, ugh, was the worst so far, but not horrible. Heavier menstrual period, a little dizziness, and hey! I'm penicillin allergic. So I think I'm doing A-1."

"I have a ton of anxiety around antibiotics. I tend to freak myself out with the scary side effects. However, my pneumonia caused my fever to spike to 104 and other terrible symptoms. After my first pill (taken with a Z-pack as well), I coughed up so much mucus, and my fever went down. The next day, I quite literally had no more fever or mucus. It was like I never had pneumonia at all. I had a mild side effect of diarrhea, but I tend to have that with every antibiotic."

"Extreme diarrhea, bloating, then gastritis. Second time: extreme dizziness, headaches, neck pain, vaginal herpes, mouth sores. This antibiotic should be taken off the market. I also have purple bruising on my body."
