For Sinusitis "I was in urgent care 4 days ago and diagnosed with a sinus infection. I was given Ceftin 500 mg tablets to take 2 times a day. I'm going to take one after dinner tonight, and I honestly can say this stuff is not working for me at all. I'm okay for about 3 hours after taking it with breakfast, then my nose starts running, my head stuffs up, I get very cold and I have to go to bed propped up on 3 pillows trying to breathe. When I get up, my nose starts running again and my head gets all stuffed up again and doesn't clear up until about 8:30 p.m. If I am like this tomorrow, I will be calling my primary care doctor about getting put on something else."

For Pneumonia "My mother, age 75, took this. After 4 days, she became very confused, had bad chest pain, was nauseated, felt jerky, and had diarrhea. She still shows some confusion after being off of it for 2 days."

For Urinary Tract Infection "Diarrhea and nausea were present within 12 hours of taking the first pill. I was told by the pharmacist that this was a possibility, but I was so sick I discontinued the meds immediately!"
