"My doctor prescribed this for tooth infection until I could get to the dentist. I have problems with my stomach and can't take oral antibiotics. I had 2 grams the first day then one gram for the next 4 days. It seems to be helping the infection but I started having pain between my shoulder blades and belching. I also had bloating and pain in my stomach. So same stomach issues as oral antibiotics."

"I received Rocephin for treatment of thyroiditis through i/v in a diluent 2 years back. Just after 3 to 4 min of i/v infusion, my body started getting warmth and severe itching on whole body along with sweating. The medication was immediately stopped however the feeling continued for next 10 to 15 min. I was giving antidote immediately to reduce the symptoms and was shifted to ICU for vitals observation. It was the worst experience of my life with any antibiotics. It didn't work for me. But everyone must also be careful if they are getting it for the first time."

"Suffer with lower back pain so I did not notice the kidney infection forming. Went to the ER as Pain was increasing and moving to the flank right side. Turns out it was an acute right sided kidney infection with stone blockage as well as bladder involvement. This antibiotic was a serious life saver as the pain was becoming intolerable. With in 24 hours a marked improvement. For anyone with a reaction , it is related to penicillin and if you have a reaction to penicillin it’s not a medication you should have. Not a drug company issue but an individual issue. Each medication can affect each individual differently, no way to foresee an issue from the drug company but the treating physician should have warned if you have a penicillin reaction then this too will affect you. I was asked by the physician and went over allergies prior to injection. Fully informed on each medication I ever take. Highly recommend, the injection does have a real burn to it, worth the end result! Best of luck to all."

"Got this shot 4 1/2 hours ago. Let me tell you miracles exist! I was dying from a severe sore throat and my tonsils were so red and swollen. I couldn’t even swallow my own saliva. I had headaches so bad that I felt my head would explode. This shot is amazing. I can swallow again I can breathe with my mouth closed. Wow."

"I 100% recommend this drug for anyone with an intense infection. I am currently on Flagyl due to a C. Diff infection and my doctor advised me not to take any antibiotics orally. Was diagnosed with a double ear infection and a chest infection after going in to urgent care for symptoms unrelated to C. Diff. Let them know everything and my care plan now involves using this injection to clear up my ear and chest infections through my muscles instead of digestive tract since I am still taking Flagyl. The injction stung a tad when injected but I hardly felt anything other than that due to my fear of rupture in my ear drum. Honestly I couldn't say how big the needle was because I was too focused on what was being said about the possible rupture. I have 2 more injections to do over the next two days and I am looking forward to them. This is a miracle. I already feel less pressure in my ears and its only been 6 hours. I expect this to be gone very soon! So pleased. No side effects to me at all."
