"This drug is awesome. I’ll admit that it sat in my cabinet for a while because I read the reviews, and my anxiety skyrocketed. I finally decided to take it, and I did not have any side effects whatsoever (except for the bitter taste twice). I would wake at 8 a.m. to take a probiotic, eat at 9 a.m., then take the antibiotic at 10 a.m. I have to take it twice a day, so I did the same routine at 8 p.m., 9 p.m., and 10 p.m. Eat a nice-sized meal, and you’ll be fine! Symptoms disappeared by day 3. I took this pill for 10 days. Good luck. Don’t let the reviews scare you!"

Cefuroxime "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."

Cefuroxime "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."

"Just started Ceptin for an infection of the inner ear. Taken twice daily for only 2 full days. Some relief from pain, but the ear is still severely stopped up. Almost no hearing in that ear, except my own heartbeat... rather annoying, but beats the alternative... Have seen many complaints of bad gastrointestinal problems... my suggestion is to take probiotics while on the drug. I have no problem with taking it... Note: take at least an hour apart from antibiotics. Works well for me. Hope my ear unstops soon."

"Given for bacterial infection, this medication did nothing but cause side effects. Fever, chills, no appetite, weakness. Put this to the infection. Finished the prescribed amount and noticed red blotches on my skin and peeling. I think I'm allergic to this product. Never again. Still feeling effects. It's only been one day since completion."

Cefuroxime "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."

"The urgent care physician diagnosed me with a moderate case of swimmer's ear. He prescribed me the antibiotic cefuroxime, 500 mg, for a period of 7 days. After reading other reviews, I did use one probiotic pill each day along with probiotic yogurt. To make a long story short, I had no problems with my bowels. However, the drug did provide me with a constant moderate headache. Other than that, no other side effects. Unfortunately, the drug did nothing to resolve my ear infection. So, today, a different physician is going to have me try ciprofloxacin. I was hoping to avoid Cipro as it is a lot harder on the body with a bigger spectrum of side effects. Good luck to anyone else who tries cefuroxime."

"On day 7 of taking cefuroxime, a 10-day course for bacterial upper respiratory infection. Taking it along with Mucus DM Extended Release and Flonase. Fever stopped immediately on day one, but everything else got way worse. Insanely sore throat and unstoppable mucus production make it impossible to drink or eat. It is a nightmare swallowing the pills down. I don't want to finish out, but I will per doctor's orders, but what a waste of precious time and valuable resources. Oh, and the fever's back on day 7."

"I took one 500 mg pill of cefuroxime with food, and I was sick in bed, fevered with the most horrible stomach pain, and that is just from one pill. I will never take this again."

"Did nothing!!! With the exception of making me so nauseous and sick I couldn't get out of bed. Repeat: this does nothing. Didn't treat my infection in the slightest."
