Side Effects for Cefaclor (cefaclor)
None possibly dizziness and urine smell
None, I tolerated this antibiotic well. It seems to be a relatively friendly antibiotic relative to some others...
Rated "4" because it is unclear if it truly helped clear the infection, as is always the problem with sinus infections. I was regularly doing saline flushes several times a day, and it could've resolved on its own.
Absolutely none. AS with most antibiotics, lots of water and probiotic yogurts.
Stopped the infection but there's wtill the ear congestion...yuck
None. No diarrhoea. Well tolerated.
Severe chest infection that didn't respond to amoxicillin, erythromycin or zithromax (z-pak), given in that order. Infection lasted several weeks. Finally doc gave me cefaclor, after 6-7 days huge improvement, which carried on improving for a few days after I finished the course. Completely cleared the infection. Very effective drug. Doc told me they prefer to keep it in reserve for difficult infections to avoid bugs developing resistance, if I get another infection they will want to try amoxicillin first before using this again.
The first time I took a week of this med it worked great, with no side effects. But a few months later I took a second script of it and broke out in a violent rash of itching, maddening hives. I had to get injections of antihistamines to stop me from scratching my skin off!
Tiredness, felt less energy. Hard to perform cardiovascular activities because muscles lacked strength while on Cefaclor.
Sinus infection returned and am now starting on it again for a longer period.
dizziness, nausea, yeast infection - felt sicker while taking the antibiotic than before I started taking it.
Rx for 15 days, don't know if I can continue taking it and go back to work.

It works by stopping the growth of bacteria. This antibiotic only treats bacterial infections. It will not work for viral infections (e.g., common cold, flu).

Developed sudden and severe pain in thumb joints and in right hip. Am a professor and could barely drive to school or open a door to a classroom. Went to doctor who declared I must have osteoarthritis--until x-rays showed none. Asked whether problem was Fosamax but doctor doubted it. Eventually, was fitted with casts for night and thumb splints for day. Re-read label after hands got worse. Decided to stop taking drug on my own. After many months entirely off the Fosamax (I had given up hope of recovering), use of hands gradually (almost imperceptibly) came back to near-normal.One year later, even though we've entered the severe cold/snowy winter season, I now have zero hip pain and zero pain in/full use of hands; I am ecstatic. I am on this site for the sole purpose of telling ANYONE with painful side effects to immediately cease the use of this drug. I experienced a year of heartache and inability to cook, grade papers, open doors, or drive normally--all thanks, I deepl
They are the only antibiotic that has been the hardest to finish because of the side effects but hopefully they will do the job. would take again if I had to but would hate the week like I have this week. just upsetting that it makes you feel so low and sickly feeling all the time.
fatigue, migraines, chest pain,
Nasacort has worked very well in relieving my nasal congestion, and I hate that I may have to stop using it, due to tooth pain.
Was having bad back pain and difficulty falling asleep. Zanaflex helps me fall asleep although I do not stay asleep for very long. I wake up rested with no grogginess.

I am a recovering alcoholic/type II bi-polar with hypo manic episodes (haven't had an episode in 3 years). I've been taking Lamictal for 3 years and recently stopped taking Wellbutrin of 1 year due to recent severe paranoia, which stopped once I ceased the use of Wellbutrin. Weight gain and lethargy have plagued me for years on top of the treated bi-polar/depression which is why I have decided to try out topamax. So far it has helped with the desire to binge eat and has increased my energy. I have already lost 2 pounds and am monitoring my progress to see if the side effects outweigh the reasons I am taking the medication.

So far I'm only on my 5th day but I've been feeling anxious and constantly obsess over having a panic attack. I'm supposed to double up the dosage today and am afraid that it will make me more jittery! I've been going through phases of feeling elated with bursts of energy, then suddenly feeling withdrawn and just laying on the couch in a depressed fog. It has been making me feel slightly foggy, and I've noticed an increase, not decrease in appetite which worries me that I'll gain weight. I guess I'll hang in there a couple more weeks.
