This antibiotic is super-effective at relieving my tonsillitis. I suffer from severe tonsillitis once every year or two and Cefadroxil eliminates the inflammation and fever within a couple of days!

I was given a rx for 1 gram twice a day and then developed liver inflammation X3 and was not well for about 2 wks. I think I was given a very high dose -

I broke out in a terrible rash on my upper body and it caused very uncomfortable itching. I had to take methylpredisolone to stop the rash.

I had pain in my lower abdomen from what I later found out to be a from a UTI. I got my prescription and within a couple of days of taking it as recommended, the pain began to disburse. However, symptoms of UTI include flu-like symptoms, fever, headaches, body aches, and chills. So I began to think that this medication only got rid of the abdominal pain and not the other symptoms. Almost a week later of feeling the same way, I did some research on this drug. THE SIDE EFFECTS ARE THAT OF A UTI AND WORSE!!! Now I have gained a noticeable amount of weight, I'm extremely moody, my belly is swollen, and I now need an ultrasound to check my organs. Initially, my doctor instructed me to finish off the bottle, no matter how much better I felt. You gotta be kidding me. I chose today to stop taking this terrible "cure". This is why there's those commercials out there that brandish the drugs and mutely and rapidly describe the side effects of the drugs only to create a public service announcement asking if any of our loved ones have died due to their product and to call their hotline. For what? To apologize? I would never, ever, EVER recommend this drug to ANYONE!! Look for other alternatives. Heck, buy 10 gallons of cranberry juice for all I care. Just not this.Read More Read Less

I developed a lump in my abdomen which the doctor thinks is an infection. I've been on the medication for 5 days, the lump is still there and now I have hives all over my legs.

I had cellulitis as a result of lymphedema in my arm. This medication helped immediately and even kept me from having to be hospitalized because I started it right away.
