Pros:

None for me

Cons:

Severe reaction. Had to be taken to the ER. Severe joint pain, hot flashes, cold chills, vomiting, other intestinal issues, fever, extreme pain in back, and blood in my urine. Occurred <3 hours after the 6th time I had taken it

Might work for some just be careful. ER doc didn't want to say it was the antibiotic. Talked to 2 other doctors and they told me I was lucky and that next time I may not be so fortunate. There are other alternatives to this treatment. I had no idea that I was allergic until after the fact. Been suggested to me that I need to have a medical alert braclet for this. And I am not one to rush to the hospital unless my arm is falling off. And I have no other medical ailments that could explain it.

Pros:

None

Cons:

Experienced severe allergic reactions and was hospitalized. My spleen and liver became abnormally large, my body temperature fluctated (head was hot, feet was cold) resulting in seizure-like body-shaking, and I broke into a rash (possibly hives).

I almost died 2x; now that I think of it, I wished I sued my doctor. Please be extremely cautious, and remember that you know you're own body better than your doctor.
