Vancomycin Alternatives Compared

For Clostridioides difficile Infection: vancomycin seemed to kill the Clostridial bacteria infection- and everything else in my gut! Those with IBS-D who are sensitive to antibiotics may want to proceed with caution when choosing this drug to treat C. Diff; my side effects were sore bowels and intractable nausea which did not subside until a full week after I was done with the course.

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

For Dental Abscess: Amoxicillin worked the first time I had this dental infection. The infection has come back 3 times now and amoxicillin, for me, is pointless but of course the drs don't listen or think I'm exaggerating.

For Dental Abscess: I started taking amoxicillin immediately. My dentist prescribed it for a toothache. I take 1 twice a day for 10 days. After day one the pain went away but I had diarrhea and I felt very nauseous. Also I had fever and chills. By the end of the night I had vomited twice. Day two I just took a half a pill and still felt dizzy and light headed. I’ve taken this medication before in the past and I do not recall this kind of problem. But it knocked out the pain

For Urinary Tract Infection: I had taken antibiotics for a UTI and it didn’t work. My doctor the prescribed Cipro. She told me of the ‘less than likely” effects it may cause to my tendons. I was very apprehensive but the Dr and pharmacist ensured me it would be fine and nothing would go wrong. Well, everything was fine until my 5th day on it. All of the tendons in my foot began hurting and my foot tingled like pins and needles. Please ask your doctors for different antibiotics. It’s not worth causing damage to your Achilles.

For Urinary Tract Infection: I was prescribed ciprofloxacin for a UTI . And by the second day I was back at the ER. I felt absolutely horrible this medicine made me feel so sick my head was pounding, my eyelids felt heavy, so much like gas on my stomach I WILL NEVER take this medicine again my hands and fingers are numb at least 2 days after stopping the medicine. I would rather take a longer treatment of Keflex than take this medicine and it spiked my blood sugar also!!
