"Prescribed this antibiotic, Ceftin, after a severe reaction to Levaquin for a bacterial infection. Only problem is muscle aches and stomach issues. I am on day five, but I may have to stop before the ten days. Feels like gallbladder problems, but I did not have these symptoms before taking this medication."

"My doctor looked in my ear and nose and saw that they were severely blocked, as well as infected with bacteria. He explained to me that I probably have drainage into the eustachian tube and that it has gotten dirty. So he prescribed me 500 mg Ceftin, as well as Allegra-D and Flonase, all to be taken for 15 days. I take Ceftin twice daily, morning and night, with food. I take Allegra-D and Flonase in the morning before I leave for work. I don't know how the Ceftin works, but I was still plugged up for a good 5 days until it felt like it may have finally kicked in. But is it? It could just be the regular Allegra-D and Flonase? But I guess if this Ceftin is good for many other things, it'll be good for all the other bacteria-type stuff, so I'm happy."

"Daughter is 16 months old and was prescribed this garbage from the ER doc for an ear and chest infection. She was on this for 3 days and had the worst experience ever with stomach pain, vomit, diarrhea galore, and would not move from wife's lap, crying. We stopped this med and saw a night and day difference within 16 hours. Unbelievable."
