"Took cefprozil for 7 days to treat a sinus infection I had for 5 weeks. Not only did it not help at all, but it made me feel worse. The sinus pain and pressure in my face tripled to the point where I had to take constant OTC painkillers and put ice on my face."

"I was prescribed cefprozil 5 days ago, and I am getting worse. I have suffered for years with sinus infections and can say that this is the most ineffective antibiotic I have ever been prescribed, as with others there has always been a slight to moderate improvement. Will be returning to the doctor today to request a real solution."

Cefprozil "Terrible medicine. I had diarrhea with dehydration and ended up with severe dry mouth at night. I took it for sinus for over a month and need to take it for 70 days, but it killed my stomach already. I used to drink a lot of water, but all useless with this medicine. I think I have to stop it."

"After 5 days, I feel horrible on this medication. As if I didn't feel bad enough with the sinus infection, now I have horrible-horrible!-diarrhea, stomach ache, and cramps. Worst antibiotic I have ever been on!"

"50/50 on if my sinusitis is ever affected, but for all of those taking it, eating yogurt should be mandatory information. This helps replace the good bacteria in your stomach, your vagina, and anywhere else your “flora” should be propagating. If you do this, add in the good bacteria to your body, it leads to less (if any) stomach issues, diarrhea, yeast infections, etc."

"I was told to take 500 mg twice a day for 20 days, and after 7 days, I developed severe vaginal itching and discharge, severe itching on arms and face, burning of tongue. I continued to take the rest like I was prescribed and have been done with it for 5 days and just now overcoming the side effects."

"I took this twice a day for over a week. I don't notice any improvement. In the past, when I have taken amoxicillin or Augmentin, I had relief in 3 days every time I had one of these irritating sinus infections."

"I took this medicine for a sinus infection and it did get rid of it as far as I know. However, nearing the end of my treatment, I developed literally the worst yeast infection ever. It hurts so bad, I can't be intimate with my boyfriend, it is beyond itchy, the discharge is absolutely ridiculous. I'm so mad."

"After my 5-year-old took this for the full 10 days, she still developed an ear infection and had to be put on azithromycin."

"Took one dose and broke out in a rash on the left arm, then the same arm became numb and tingly. Got the sweats real bad, had to take Benadryl right away."

"I am on my 5th day of taking 500 mg per day, and I still have a bad sinus infection and plugged ears. It doesn't seem to be helping me at all. It feels like it is getting worse."

Cefprozil "The only thing that has kicked each of the many sinus infections I've had over the years, including the one I picked up in Maui and had to fly home with-ended up with a double ear and sinus infection. Amoxicillin just won't do it for me."
