I have taken just about every med available for recurrent UTI so was happy to try a new one that my body was not immune to. On the 3rd day of taking Vantin I developed severe nausea. Lasted from about 5pm - 3:30am. Non-stop. Recovered the next day but didn�t take medicine because my stomach was still fragile. The next day I took the medicine and again came the nausea - all night. Torturous. I�m not 100% it was the Vantin but it was the only new thing I had introduced to my body and I only had nausea the days I took the medicine but it didn�t begin until the 3rd day of taking medicine. My UTI feels like it�s gone, but that�s typical after a few days of any med. Not taking Vantin anymore. Will call doctor for a sub to finish treatment.
After using Levaquin, Augmentin and Amoxycillin, Vantin is the only med my dr. now prescribes. Within 3 days I feel almost normal. Important to take the med for full term prescribed. No side effects whatever.
I am allergic to most antibiotics and was grateful when Vantin oral was made available to me. I have not recovered as quickly as expected and have had abdominal upset but it is slowly working. I am on day 9 of the 10 allowable so don't know what happens next but I at least know there is one drug out there that I can take.
ENT PRESCRIBED THIS MED FOR SINUS INFECTION,, AFTER BEING ADVISED I SUFFER FROM SEVERE ULCERATIVE COLITIS. IN LESS THAN 36 HRS, I BEGAN SUFFERING THE TYPICAL BLOODY STOOL, ETC. STOPPED MED, BUT HAVE BEEN TREATING UC FLARE FOR THE LAST 2 WEEKS. IF YOU ARE A UC SUFFERER, DO NOT TAKE THIS DRUG.
I had a UTI and was given 10 pills, (one a day for 10 days)After just 2 pills, the UTI cleared up. I continued taking the full complement of pills and the UTI has not returned.
third day into this treatment began having body aches,then diahrea,next day temp of 101,chills,thought I was going to die.Diahrea still continues 5 days after sopping
I developed a bright red rash on my feet and ankles (after completing the prescribed dose of tablets) which over a four-day period spread up to my thighs and abodomen and back. Then my skin peeled as though from a bad sunburn, even to the palms of my hands A dermatologist prescribed a keratin salve. It took over a month and numerous visits to the dermatologist before all the skin peeled and my body gradually returned to normal. A terrible experience for a man over 90. Keep cephalosporins away from me!
had allergic reactions to nitrofurantoin(liver pain and vomiting) and sulfamethoxazole (upset stomach and vomiting). this is the only medicine that worked for me.
HAVE ONLY BEEN TAKING THIS MEDICATION FOR ABOUT A WEEK, AFTER TWO WEEKS IN HOSPITAL.
My 3 year old was prescribed the solution of this to help treat a recurrent sinus infection. She was on it for 4 days and developed what appears to be an allergic reaction to it. Her legs were both swollen and purple from the back of her knees down and her feet were swollen. We have taken her off this medication.
I was given Vantin for an upper respiratory infection and severe sore throat. I have taken 7 days worth and my throat is worse, rather than better. Now my ears hurt as well.
Didn't get nauseous nor any other synptom. East to take.
The drugs works great, had a painful left ear and in no time the subsided.
When I get a sinus infection that the more common anti-biotics won't get rid of, this will every time.
