"I was diagnosed with bronchitis today and given this for the first time. After reading the very long, scary list of side effects and these reviews, I am not taking it. I didn’t see my regular doctor, and I think they just give you their drug of choice. He also gave me a steroid shot, an oral pack, and a Rosephin shot. I have Bactrim, so I’m taking that instead. Thank you, everyone, for the heads up. I am 64, and I believe doctors don’t always do their homework for older patients. Even Corisdine HBP sent me to the ER with a 140 pulse and hypertension after one dose. I don’t think taking this drug is worth the risk."
