"I was on this antibiotic for 7 days. It started clearing up the infection right away, 2 very red and swollen lymph nodes in the right lower armpit. I have never had an infection in my lymph nodes, but it was around my bra line, and my immune system is currently weak. I had mild stomach pain the first day but was told to take it with food. I can't take Sulfa drugs because of the severe stomach pain they cause. I had terrible malaise and have more energy now. The infection is cleared up, I took the last dose yesterday. This drug leaves a horrible bitter taste and a glue-like feeling in the mouth. Because I took it before bedtime, 2 tabs at once, I had to gargle right away in the a.m. with mouth wash. I'm on heart medication and was not told it can contraindicate, and that it can discolor teeth, both are very important to know, and I was not informed of this. This drug can be used to treat TB, so it is strong, but clearly effective."
