"Everyone is different and responds differently to each medication. This one, cefuroxime, worked wonderfully for me, whereas Z-Pak and Augmentin did nothing. I personally have had no side effects from this. So, regarding the negative comments about this, I have none. To each his own for their body."

"Into my 5th day... Pain relieved after two full days, but still have infection, mucus still yellow/green, and still feel like crap, although better. No side effects from the med, which is good, but would have expected to feel much better by now. Four more days to go on the med."

Cefuroxime "The medicine clears the infection, but extremely harsh on the stomach. I am on day 4 and had to stop taking it because I threw up all over the driveway. It repeats on you all day and leaves a horrible taste. Very strong."

"Sinus infection: Started using this product 4 days ago, and so far nothing is happening. Still total congestion, massive sinus headaches on and off (more on than off), the only thing this medication has managed to give me is diarrhea. Will give this another day, then go back to the doctor. Not sure this is the right medication for me."

"I was afraid to take this based on reviews. Took it anyway. No issues first 3 days besides some minor stomach cramps. Woke up on day 4 in a stinky night sweat, thought that was very strange (I never usually have a body odor, not even when I sweat). Thought maybe I was sweating some kind of infection out. Bizarre. Noticed on night 4 that I was able to take in a deep breath again for the first time in months! Woke up on day 5 with semi-diarrhea. 5 more days to go. We'll see. I'll update this review when I finish the course. I feared taking this because of the stomach effects as I just had two precancerous polyps removed from my colon 1 month ago, but so far it's been totally tolerable. I haven't taken it with probiotics or yogurt or bananas, just water. I did notice the nasty taste when swallowing the pill on the 4th night for the first time since starting the med, so the bad taste thing might be progressive for some because I didn't notice it until day 4. I've been taking it at 9 a.m. and bedtime."

"I went to the emergency room with a sinus infection on a Monday and picked up a bottle of Ceftin a few hours later. By the following Sunday, nothing had changed. I still had the aches, dizziness, and bouts of confusion and disorientation that had sent me to the hospital in the first place."

Cefuroxime "This is my first time using Ceftin for a sinus infection. I have had many sinus infections over the years that have responded well to other antibiotics. I am on my 5th day of Ceftin, twice a day, and I still feel like rubbish. I no longer have a fever, but the sinus pressure and congestion are still present. It might just be me, but I usually feel relief from other antibiotics after 2 days. I am going to finish my 10-day supply, then call my doctor."

"I will NEVER take this antibiotic again! I took one dose, and four hours later, I was throwing up to the point of dry heaves! I was so extremely nauseous that I was miserable! After I was finished throwing up for three hours, I proceeded to have the worst watery stools ever! (Just keeping it real, people!) I had to go to the ER because I started to feel weak and weird! I passed out as they wheeled me to a room where they thought I had appendicitis! Did blood work and CT! Nope, it was the medication! I was severely dehydrated, and they told me by the time I had left that I looked 100 times better than when I went in! I haven't had any more of the medication, and I've been just fine. I'd suffer through a sinus infection rather than go through that again!"

"I have had two prescriptions of cefuroxime prescribed for me. Once after sinus surgery in April. And then again in June. I am still fighting some sort of infection. After being sick for 2 years prior to surgery, I now feel that it's fungal! Seeking more help."

"Have been having a bad sinus infection where my nose hurt so bad I couldn’t sleep. Went to the doctor, who put me on Cefuroxime 500 mg twice a day. I noticed after taking a one-day dose I was feeling sick to my stomach and felt tired in my legs, arms, and whole body. I called the doctor to tell her, and she said to push through it. My body is fighting the infection. So I lay on my sofa and pray that I will feel better soon. This is day 2, and I still feel the same. Taking cough syrup for nausea that helps me sleep. I’ve been reading all comments, and it looks like most say the 3rd day you feel good, here’s hoping that’s true."

Cefuroxime "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."

Cefuroxime "Was sick with the worst sinus infection in my life for at least 3 weeks. It began to turn into pneumonia. Amoxil wasn't working. 2 doses of Ceftin so far and I'm feeling much better."

Cefuroxime "The bitter taste made the pills almost impossible to take. Dipping them in honey really worked! Thanks so much for that tip."
