"I received Rocephin for treatment of thyroiditis through IV in a diluent 2 years back. Just after 3 to 4 minutes of IV infusion, my body started getting warmth and severe itching on the whole body along with sweating. The medication was immediately stopped, however, the feeling continued for the next 10 to 15 minutes. I was given an antidote immediately to reduce the symptoms and was shifted to ICU for vital observation. It was the worst experience of my life with any antibiotics. It didn't work for me. But everyone must also be careful if they are getting it for the first time."

"Got this shot 4 1/2 hours ago. Let me tell you, miracles exist! I was dying from a severe sore throat, and my tonsils were so red and swollen. I couldn’t even swallow my own saliva. I had headaches so bad that I felt my head would explode. This shot is amazing. I can swallow again, I can breathe with my mouth closed. Wow."

"I 100% recommend this drug for anyone with an intense infection. I am currently on Flagyl due to a C. Diff infection, and my doctor advised me not to take any antibiotics orally. Was diagnosed with a double ear infection and a chest infection after going into urgent care for symptoms unrelated to C. Diff. Let them know everything, and my care plan now involves using this injection to clear up my ear and chest infections through my muscles instead of the digestive tract since I am still taking Flagyl. The injection stung a tad when injected, but I hardly felt anything other than that due to my fear of rupture in my eardrum. Honestly, I couldn't say how big the needle was because I was too focused on what was being said about the possible rupture. I have 2 more injections to do over the next two days, and I am looking forward to them. This is a miracle. I already feel less pressure in my ears, and it's only been 6 hours. I expect this to be gone very soon! So pleased. No side effects to me at all."

"Suffer with lower back pain, so I did not notice the kidney infection forming. Went to the ER as pain was increasing and moving to the flank right side. Turns out it was an acute right-sided kidney infection with stone blockage, as well as bladder involvement. This antibiotic was a serious lifesaver, as the pain was becoming intolerable. Within 24 hours, a marked improvement. For anyone with a reaction, it is related to penicillin, and if you have a reaction to penicillin, it’s not a medication you should have. Not a drug company issue, but an individual issue. Each medication can affect each individual differently, no way to foresee an issue from the drug company, but the treating physician should have warned that if you have a penicillin reaction, then this too will affect you. I was asked by the physician and went over allergies prior to injection. Fully informed on each medication I ever take. Highly recommend, the injection does have a real burn to it, worth the end result! Best of luck to all."

"My 79-year-old mother died 30 minutes after receiving a Rocephin shot. Rocephin is the “catch-all” antibiotic given in the ER in most African countries. Unfortunately, the manufacturers of this drug are not concerned about adverse reactions suffered by third-world country patients."

"My husband was given a shot of Rocephin. Within seconds, he was in anaphylactic shock. He was given Benadryl to reverse the medication. He was rushed to the hospital, his blood pressure shot through the roof. He nearly died. From the shot, he suffers from serum sickness, high blood pressure, irregular heartbeat, extreme sweating, restless leg syndrome, headaches, loss of appetite, PTSD, extreme panic attacks, hyperactivity, insomnia, flushing, jitters all the time, fear, depression, chest pain, and a feeling of discomfort. Loss of dignity, my husband is a different person, and this drug did this to him. It is a daily struggle every moment to keep positive and hope for a cure to fix his neurological damage this shot has caused."

"Had a 103+ fever on and off for three days. Went to the ER, tests were done, and IV Rocephin was administered before results came back. Walked out of the hospital with no fever."
