i was bitten by a spider right above my ankle on leg and let started turning purple and pus was coming out, took 250 mg 3 times a day and used hydrocortisone on area which was about 3 by 5 inches infected, after last dose and using the hydrocortisone sympton is nearly gone will continue to use hrdrocortisone and if needed i will see doctor if it doesnt clear up completely, i think i will have some scar tissue discoloration because i waited 2 months before telling doctor, but the medicine has worked really well so far, i can only recommend for problem like i had, it works

Prescribed for tooth abscess.Might do its job; but, I will never know. I have been sick since pill 3 of 40. I want to vomit just to get this stuff out of my system. I called the DDS and pharmacy this morning, ( no recall as yet ) because I can not take any more runs to the bathroom, gas, chest pains and upset stomach.

This drug was not effective and after 7 days did not clear up the pink eye. Had to go back to the Doctor for a different medication.
