One pill for sore throat - 15 minutes later horrible chest pains - horrible pains in stomace - husband rushed me to hospital - didn't have to wait - rushed in - skin red and itching - went blind , blood pressure dropped 40/30 - basically I died - they got it controlled minutes before putting me on life support - hospitalized 5 days - no memory of 3-4 days - DO NOT TAKE THIS MEDICINE - with all the results people have written in - why isn't someone suing....I have never been so scared and literally almost died....

I had this same reaction several years ago to a medication called Bactrim. I had taken the product when I was younger with, I thought, no ill effects, but this time I had almost all the symptoms you describe. It turned out there is sulpha in this drug, and I'm allergic to Sulfa. It's not the medication .... it's your body's reaction to it. Some people can probably take this medicine just fine....including me, apparently. I've been taking it this week for a sinus infection. There are many dangers involved with ANY medication.

ditto, this drug caused a life threatening diesese that took days to diagnose. ATTENTION TO EVERYONE! DO NOT TAKE THIS DRUG, UNLESS YOU ARE SUICIDAL! THE MANUFACTURE MUST THINK ABOUT THE CONSEQUENCES OF BEING MILLION DOLLAR MURDERS! FDA, GET IT OFF THE MARKET!!! SAVE LIVES, DON'T KILL!! CHECK OUT THE FACTS, THE RARE DIESESES IT CAUSES IS NOW BEING FOUND IN CHILDREN TOO! WHAT IN THE WORLD ARE DOCS USING IT!! THINK!!!

well, just because you are fine with it now, does not prove that you will not have a reaction to it in the future, so as far as the med we are talking about, take a good look at the comments and pray that you never have to see a loved one go through this crap!! THIS DRUG IS DIFFERENT AND SHOULD NOT BE CAUSING MAJOR PROBLEMS IN CHILDREN AND ADULTS! BE WISE... DON'T TAKE!!
