I was prescribed Pfizerpen G 5mu Inj for a severe bacterial infection and I'm feeling really nervous about the potential side effects. The list is quite long and some of them are pretty scary. Has anyone here had experience with this medication? I'm particularly worried about the allergic reactions and high potassium levels. Any advice or personal experiences would be greatly appreciated!

I was prescribed Clindamycin/nacl 900/50ml Inj for a serious bacterial infection. I'm wondering if anyone else has used this antibiotic and what their experiences were like. I've read about some of the possible severe side effects, but I'd love to hear from people who have actually used it. How did you handle the side effects? Did you notice any improvements quickly? Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated!

Hi everyone, I was prescribed Azithromycin 200mg/5ml Susp for a bacterial infection. I started taking it yesterday and already feel some stomach issues. I'm worried about the possible side effects, especially the severe ones mentioned in the leaflet. Has anyone here had a bad experience with this medication? I want to know if I should be worried, or if these side effects are rare. Also, how do you handle the taste? It's not the best! Any tips would be appreciated!

My pediatrician prescribed Cefzil for my child's ear infection, and it has been a nightmare. The kid has had diarrhea for days. This is the first time we've used this antibiotic, and I was shocked with the side effects. I have read CDAD is rare, but still scary. Is this common? Is my kid going to be okay? I have called the doctor, but haven't heard back yet. Anyone who has been through this, please share your experience.

So, my newborn was prescribed Ilotycin Ophth Oint 3.5gm to prevent eye infections. I applied it, and she seems to be doing fine, but I'm curious if anyone else has used this and what their experience was like. The ointment seems to be a bit messy, and I'm not sure if that's normal. The instructions say it's for treating bacterial eye infections in adults and for usage in newborns. Has anyone else had experience with this? What was your experience like? Any issues or side effects to look out for?
