"I was on a 3-day dose, and wouldn't have been able to stay on it any longer than that. My skin became red and dry. It felt like I had a full-body sunburn. It did its job as far as my infection, but now I always list this drug when asked for drug allergies."

"I only took one pill. Within minutes I had a reaction. One dose was enough to make my face red as a tomato, sore all over, and light hallucinations. Doctor said 95% have no problem. But I notice in these reviews 41% were negative. It did clear up my infection though! Surprised it’s still on the market."
