After two doses of this medication my daughter whom is 6 had uncontrolable diareehea, felt like she was going to throw up and doubled over with severe crapping stomach pains. It was awful, she never had this reaction to any other meds perscribed, unfortently she couldn't even make it to the restroom, and this all happeend at school! If you are trying this drug for the first time I suggest you don't do it when they have to go to school in case an accident happens, its very embarrassing to have happened at school. We won't be using this drug ever again. I've never seen my daughter in so much pain.

My son has been prescribed this multiple times for a variety of infections by the local spaced out doctors who don't listen to us. We've tried giving it to him a few times in the past two years, just to see. The first time refused to drink this (mixed in a variety of drinks - and I'm a master medicine drink mixer). The two times I managed to get it down him he started projectile vomiting. I don't know if the flavor or the antibiotic itself makes him puke. I'd think the flavor, but so far most antibiotics make my son puke. The flavor though... Jesus Christ on a pogo stick. The doctor said it had a fruity taste. I thought my son was being dramatic when he said it was gross - but then I tasted it. This medicine tastes like a dead cat's butthole covered in rotting fruit and run through a blender. I've never tasted anything so nasty in my life. I couldn't get it down, and in college I could drink cheap whiskey straight from the bottle through a straw without blinking. This stuff is awful. AWFUL. If doctors want to give you this, see if Cefprozil is similar enough for what you need that they'll describe that. Every time the doctor's office prescribes this stuff and we have to call back that's what they prescribe. So far we've had no bad side effects to that one.

My 10 months old daughter was given this drug after the 3rd ear infection. After the 1st does itself my baby got rashes all over the body. The doctor asked me to give for 1 more day. It made worse the next day. Tomorrow have to call the doctor and ask again.

After our then 6year old took all 10 days worth of medicine he broke out into a rash, itching, entire body started swelling to the point he could hardly walk! After a trip to after hours and one ER trip they finally told us it was the medicine and to never give him this medicine again. Needless to say I wouldn't recommend this to my worst enemy.

Our 11 month old son was prescribed this drug for ear infections after several other antibiotics didn't work. After 2 days of taking the drug, he broke out into hives. I will not recommend this drug to anyone.
