| Permapen review by 20 year old female patient | | Rating |
Overall rating: | | |
Effectiveness: | | Ineffective |
Side effects: | | No Side Effects | | Treatment Info |
Condition / reason: | | Viral Bronchitis |
Dosage & duration: | | 250mg taken 3 x day for the period of 10 days |
Other conditions: | | None |
Other drugs taken: | | none | | Reported Results |
Benefits: | | Absolutely no benefits, did not seem to get better even in a week. Through research I learned that penicillin does not treat a virus and that a virus must run its course. No idea why my doctor precribed Penicillin. Would rather he had been on the up and up about it instead of precribing a worthless treatment. |
Side effects: | | No side effects at all, just took an antibiotic I did not need and do not see any health benefit in that at all |
Comments: | | Doctor diagnosed me with Viral Bronchitis after and xray. He then prescribed Penicillin to treat it. Worthless treatment, since Penicillin is totally ineffective to fight a virus. |
