Throwing up, nausea, and diarrhea, after taking medication for 2 days. This medication made me call into work one day due to side effects.

2 days of taking and if anything my leg infection has gotten more red, more swollen regardless if I lie down or stand up and still hot to touch, also my chemist said take 30 mins. before meal or 3 hrs. after which is totally different to what is said here, so who knows! Not happy it's not working fast enough.

It works but 4 times a day with no food is ridiculous. I now have to plan my whole life around this medicine AND set an alarm to wake up in the middle of the night. There is no good time to take this which doesn't interfere with meals and sleep.

I was given this medication after all other had failed, I had strep B and this medication was the only med that made my life so much easier. It cleared my infection immediately.

I have red bumps on my scalp and I've been to various dermatologist saying that it's an internal problem. They usually give me some antibiotic along with a topical solution. I've been taking this antibiotic for half a month and I still see no improvement. I also notice my hair seems to be thinning out more or my hair just feels less thick. Again, did not help with my scalp problem.

I have taken a course of dicloxacillin 3 times in my life, all for mastitis ( breast infection from breastfeeding). Every time after a few doses, I get a pain in my esophagus and feel like the pill is stuck in my throat. I've never had difficulties swallowing any other drug or food. I even got my doc to call in the smaller capsules, but it's always the same. I think it must cause some kind of chemical esophagitis which gave me the pill stuck in my throat sensation. Or maybe the capsule covering is faulty and does stick in your throat causing pill esophagitis. It did clear my infection every time. I had no other side effects. I will never take again, I think it's dangerous.Read More Read Less

I am taking this medication for a bacterial mastitis. It was slower to alleviate the pain than I had hoped, but it is working, when other antibiotics have not. I have experienced some mild cramping and but some pretty bad heartburn and bloating. Because of the heartburn and bloating, I would probably ask a physician to prescribe something else next time I needed to be on this sort of antibiotic.

I had a bad cut on my upper lip from a blow to the face, it was untreated for about 20 hours so it started getting infected. the second dosage i took at night, about a hour later my body temperature was very high. My body was burning like I had a fever but my head was not hot. I was sweating badly and I could not sleep all night. I decided to stop taking the medication. Would not recommend it.

Prescribed for breast mastitis due to breast feeding. Worked almost immediately and provided wonderful relief. Minimal stomach discomfort.

Day three of a ten day stretch on this medication as well as bacteoban cream. I am prescribed 250mg four times daily for a tender rashy bumpy staph infection under both of my arms in the axillary region. They said it looked like folliculitis. It is causing dry mouth and funny taste in mouth, which are both tolerable. The worst and most alarming is that it is giving me chest pain in my heart region. This pain is sharp and stabbing and worse when I inhale. Kind of scary! I dont have any previous heart condition and had a normal physical/ekg back in november. I need this for my infection but dont think I can stay the course due to the pain.Read More Read Less

Usually when I take anti-biotic, I end up with a yeast infection. Taking this prescription left me with no side affects at all.

I was bit/stung by a bug which resulted in a huge swollen bump on my finger. The medicine worked well for treating it, but I did experience side effects in my throat/esophagus. I feel mild cramping, like I have food stuck in my throat and have been burping more than normal. I thought it was heartburn at first and took TUMS but that did nothing for it. Thank goodness I took my last pill today and can hopefully return to normal.

I took one dose of this drug and it made me feel sick to my stomach and like I had acid indigestion. I didn't take another one and it has been 24 hours and I still feel like I have acide indigestion. Eating and drinking make me feel worse. I am hoping to get the doctor to give me something different. He prescribed this for a swollen lymph node
