Gemifloxacin for Bronchitis "8 days on Factive - cured the bronchitis - worsened everything else. On the 8th day, I got an allergic reaction that got even worse on the next day, swollen lips, unbelievably itchy rash covering head to toe. Took nearly a week of treatment. Had to get injections to calm it down. A quick look on the internet shows that this reaction is common after having finished taking the medicine."

Gemifloxacin for Pneumonia "I took Factive for 7 days, and at the end of these days, I woke up with a rash from head to foot. That was horrible for me, I went to the emergency room and saw a dermatologist for this rash. She prescribed Prednol 40 mg for 3 days. I was sick because of pneumonia for 5 days and suffered from Factive side effects for 15 days! My face, my neck, my hands, all over my body... terrible experience for me! I do not suggest anybody use Factive under any circumstances! Thank you."

Gemifloxacin for Pneumonia "I took Factive for 6 days. The label says that you can take it with or without food, but in my case, if I didn't eat a very large meal before taking it, I would feel sick to my stomach and spend most of the day vomiting. I was only able to successfully keep it down for one of the days, but when I did vomit, it brought up a lot of the sputum that was in my lungs. At the end of the day, the medication seems to be working for me, but it definitely made me feel horrible that entire time I took it. Be sure to ask your doctor for a coupon for this stuff. It costs over $100, but my doctor gave me a copay-free coupon and I wound up paying nothing for this medication."

Gemifloxacin for Bronchitis "I have used the drug Factive on two separate occasions to treat bronchitis. Not only is it expensive, but it's useless."
