Zosyn Reviews

For Kidney Infections "During my hospital stay I went through numerous antibiotics all of which made me sick until Zosyn took only a few mins to go through my body and made me feel almost completely normal. I absolutely loved it."


For Bone infection "I took this medicine periodically for a bone infection with foul odor that I've had for 3 years now . I usually use it for 6 weeks and it clear the infection for about 1 year, but now is my fourth time and it doesn't seem to be working anymore for me. The last time was the first time I every had any reaction or side effects. I always had yeast infections but that's common with any antibiotic, my palm started peeling profusely, I started itching uncontrollably, and red bruises on my left leg. So now I must find a new medication because I believe my body is rejecting the medicine now."


For Kidney Infections "I had this medication as an IV infusion while hospitalized for a severe UTI and kidney infection. The only symptom I had was major diarrhea. Often, I couldn’t even make it out of the bed in time and my stool had a strange, strong smell. Even for days after stopping the treatment. I suggest taking a probiotic with it."


For Deep Neck Infection "I got this through my IV while in the hospital along with Vancomycin. After day 3, the infection was gone and I felt much better! Side effects were nausea, but manageable and worth it!"


For Kidney Infections "After taking the zosyn for 10 days I could hardly hear. It has improved somewhat but not like it was prior to taking the medication."
