I was prescribed Baxdela 450mg for a serious skin infection, and I've been reading about some pretty severe potential side effects. Has anyone else had issues with this medication? I'm particularly concerned about the possibility of high or low blood sugar, and I've heard that it can cause severe diarrhea. I think it's important we share what we know so others can be aware. I did some research and found that some people report severe allergic reactions and there is also a mention of other serious conditions like C. diff-associated diarrhea. It would be good to know if people who had those symptoms recovered well. Also, how soon after starting the medication did you notice any side effects? I'd love to hear from anyone who has taken this medication.

If you start feeling any of these symptoms, call your doctor right away. Don't wait. I did and almost passed out.

I just took my first dose last night. No side effects yet, but I'm nervous! I'll make sure to report back if anything changes.

I'm surprised the doctor didn't mention these side effects more clearly. I've had some mild stomach trouble, but nothing serious yet. Fingers crossed it stays that way.

I had to go to the hospital because of severe dizziness. I feel like they didn't explain that could happen. My heart was racing so bad.

I had a bad experience with this drug. I ended up in the ER with severe dizziness and a fast heartbeat. It was scary stuff. I can't believe the doctor didn't warn me more about these risks.

I took it for a week and didn't notice any side effects. But I did hear from a friend who had severe stomach cramps and diarrhea. She switched to a different antibiotic and was fine. It's crazy how differently people can react to the same med.

The most concerning part for me is the risk of high or low blood sugar. I have a family history of diabetes, and I'm worried about triggering something. Has anyone with a family history had any issues?

I just started taking Baxdela this morning. My doctor said it could be a few days before I feel any effects, but I'm already kinda freaking out about the possibility of allergic reactions. How do you know if it's just a mild rash or something more serious?

I experienced something similar to C. diff-associated diarrhea. It was horrible, and I had to stop taking the medication. My doctor said it's rare but possible. I'm just glad I caught it early.
