| Condition / reason: | | sinus inection |
| Dosage & duration: | | 400 mg taken 1 pill for the period of once |
| Other conditions: | | none |
| Other drugs taken: | | dyazide | | |
Reported Results |
| Benefits: | | None. Ended up in the hospital. Could have died within 15 minutes. This drug is dangerous. Couldn't talk, passed out and was rushed to hospital. NEVER HAD SUCH AN EXPERIENCE WITH A DRUG. It took several IV'S before I started to feel a little better. This medicine has long lasting effects on your body. Had problems thinking, had feelings of fear and walked like I was drunk. No I don't drink. I would never reccommend this medicine to anyone. |
| Side effects: | | If my husband hadn't acted quickly I would have been dead in 15 minutes. |
| Comments: | | I don't remember everything for I had passed out. Needed oxygen, had epipen,
benedryl and prednisonle(sp) through several IV'S. |
