“This Drug was strange, I always felt like i didn't know what was going on around me, working was difficult. I ALWAYS had a bad taste in my mouth like i had been poisoned. I had been told by my dentist that 1 out of 20 people would get very ill if taking the medication and having booze, (i could have some but it was not recommended) I decided to chance it for Christmas time and after one glass i thought i was dying. My stomach swelled up and when i puked it was a mess; there was more pressure behind it than a fire hose. NOT a fun experience but i'm glad to see the everyday symptoms are similar to everyone else here. Even just typing this took longer than it should of and i'm sure i pulled something in my back because i'm so stiff.”

“As I have paroxysmal afib, it was irresponsible for doc and pharmacists to provide this med which can elevate heart rate which could morph into afib attack and possiblly worse. Purpose was for possible infection in gums adjacent to site of tooth extraction. Butt they had already prescribed augmentin, which apparently does no harm to heart. You rellly have to do your own research to keep from becoming a statistic.”

Additional Drug Information
* Warning: The facts and figures contained in these reports are accurate to the best of our capability; however, our metrics are only meant to augment your medical knowledge, and should never be used as the sole basis for selecting a new medication. As with any medical decision, be sure to work with your doctor to ensure the best choices are made for your condition.
* About FAERS: The FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) is used by FDA for activities such as looking for new safety concerns that might be related to a marketed product, evaluating a manufacturer's compliance to reporting regulations and responding to outside requests for information. Reporting of adverse events is a voluntary process, and not every report is sent to FDA and entered into FAERS. The FAERS database may contain duplicate reports, the report quality is variable, and many factors may influence reporting (e.g., media attention, length of time a drug is marketed, market share). For these reasons, FAERS case reports cannot be used to calculate incidence or estimates of risk for a particular product or compare risks between products.
