"After my piles surgery, the doctor prescribed me cefuroxime axetil 500 mg x 2 a day. After my first tablet itself, I felt weak, body pain, an unconscious mind, and a chilling temperature. It was a really bad experience. Do not take if you're not in good condition to suffer the consequences."

"After a minor cut in the head area, I was given cefuroxime. Two days later, I started with a flu that affected my lungs and throat, and it lasted more than four weeks. I had taken the flu shot three months prior to this event. Now, reading the article from PNAS, it seems like the protection for the flu virus went away. I hadn't had a bad cold for about ten years, ever since I protected myself with the flu shot."
