I have been prescribed Cleocin Phos 600mg/4ml Inj for a serious bacterial infection and I am a bit concerned about the potential side effects. I've read that it can have severe and life-threatening side effects, including allergic reactions with difficulty breathing, kidney problems and severe skin reactions. I had an allergic reaction with penicillin in the past. However, my concerns about these risks are overwhelming my thoughts about getting the treatment. I'm a bit confused because this medication is given to my friend and she did not seem to have any serious side effects from it. Can someone who has experience with this medication share their thoughts or experiences? I do not want the side effects, but I'm more afraid of the infection. Has anyone else had severe side effects from this? What did your doctor suggest doing about it?

I've heard that some doctors might try to prescribe antibiotics to patients when they aren't needed. You should probably consider getting a second opinion if you still have questions.

I had Cleocin Phos for an infection and didn't experience any major side effects. Just some mild stomach discomfort, but it was manageable.

If this medication is your only option, your doctor is probably giving you the best chance for getting better. If I were you, I would ask about what happens if the side effects get bad. I don't think I'd be able to handle it. Your doctor should be prepared to answer this.

Cleocin Phos helped me a lot, but I had to be careful. I made sure to report any side effects that I had to my doctor. It was worth it, but you should be careful. You should be aware that your situation could be different. I would talk to your doctor about any side effects that you experience. I'm sorry that you are going through this.

Be careful. My friend had a bad reaction to this medication. She developed hives and had trouble breathing. She had to be rushed to the ER. I would talk to your doctor about your concerns. If you are having second thoughts, it's good to take action.

I'm sorry to hear you're going through this. Side effects can vary from person to person. If you have a history of allergic reactions, make sure your doctor is aware. They may want to monitor you closely. Take care of yourself!
