I was prescribed Cleocin 300mg Capsules for a serious bacterial infection and I must say, it's been a bit of a rollercoaster. I've been taking it exactly as prescribed, but I've had some side effects that have me a little concerned. I'm finishing the entire course of treatment, even though I feel better, but I've had some serious stomach issues and a bad taste in my mouth. I've seen the list of possible severe side effects, and I'm hoping what I'm experiencing is just one of the non-urgent ones. I'm also wondering if anyone else had similar experiences or if there are any tips out there for dealing with these side effects. I've heard some people have severe skin reactions, but I haven't experienced that yet. Has anyone had any long-term effects from taking this medication?

Hey everyone. Currently on Cleocin for a skin infection, and I must say, the side effects are pretty scary. Has anyone else experienced anything concerning? I've been trying to find more info online, but it's all over the place. I just want to make sure I'm not alone in this. Has anybody had any severe reactions, or know someone who did? Also, I can't stress this enough: PLEASE, please finish your course of treatment. We've all heard this from doctors, but it's SO important. I just want to make sure everyone's in the loop and we all support each other in dealing with this medication. Even the simpler side effects like diarrhea can really mess up your day. Any help or advice would be much appreciated!

I was recently prescribed Cleocin 75mg Capsules for a serious skin infection. After a few days of taking it, I started experiencing severe side effects. I want to share my experience to warn others and to ask if anyone else has had similar issues. I was already concerned about the side effects listed, but I never expected mine to be so severe. It started with a rash, and the itching was unbearable. Before I knew it, I began seeing signs of kidney problems, with changes in urine output, accompanied by swelling. I was lucky to have immediate medical help, but I'm still recovering. If you are currently taking Cleocin 75mg or considering it, I strongly advise you to be vigilant in monitoring your condition. And please, if you feel anything is off or uncertain, seek medical help without hesitation. It could save your life.

I was prescribed Cleocin 300mg/2ml Inj, 2ml for a serious bacterial infection, and I'm wondering if anyone else has had any severe side effects from using this medication. I've read about some serious side effects like Stevens-Johnson syndrome, kidney problems, and severe allergic reactions. So far, I've only experienced some mild stomach upset, but I'm worried about the potential for more serious issues. I'd love to hear about anyone's experiences with this drug, especially how they dealt with any severe side effects. What symptoms should I really be on the lookout for, and how can I best prevent or manage them? Does anyone have tips for dealing with the injection site pain? Also how do I know if I'm reacting badly to it?
