Reported Results
Benefits:   the pain in my tooth started to subside
Side effects:   I went into shock. My tongue swelled up, my face got very swollen. My heart was racing and I started to sweat something terrible. I was told that I was lucky not to die from taking this medication.
Comments:   I was rushed to the doctors office and given another drug to counter the effects of the penicillin. I was sick from the whole episode for a very long time. I am never suppose to take penicillin again or any drug that is a derivative of penicillin.

 

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.
