For Clostridioides difficile Infection "Cured the C. difficile infection great, however, I have to take this for 14 days in liquid form. When I finished taking it, I now have had unbearable heartburn and reflux that will not go away. It's been well over a week now. I have tried Pepto-Bismol, Tums, Nexium 40 mg, and everything else over the counter and prescription for heartburn, but the severe heartburn still is not resolving or going away."

For Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus Infection "This antibiotic was administered every 8 hours for 10 days, saved my leg, possibly my life. Yes, I had heartburn, yes, I had a rash, and I'd do it all over again because it saved my life. I hope this country continues to develop powerful drugs like this one that can save us from diseases, infections, and such that continue to overtake our communities."

For Bacterial Infection "I got this medication through my IV while in the hospital for an infection in my lymph nodes in my neck. My white count was down, and I felt a lot better after about 3 days! The only side effects I got were nausea and HORRIBLE heartburn (Pepto-Bismol cured this), but it was worth it!"
