For Middle Ear Infections "My son had severe ear infection and was placed on two different antibiotics. Neither worked. After having five straight days of a fever of 104 and vomiting, the doctor gave my two-year-old a shot of Rocephin, and his fever was gone by the next morning, and his ears started to clear up. Thank you to the makers of this medicine."

For Middle Ear Infections "My daughter gets ear infections, and along with that, she gets nightly vomiting. Keeping the oral antibiotics down is difficult, then after 10 days, it's still not gone. Thanks for Rocephin, it is the only thing that really gets the job done. Why have your little one suffer?"

For Urinary Tract Infection "Woke up and had pain in my right side to the point I was doubled over, went to ER. They gave me a shot of Rocephin and Toradol for pain. Was fine for about 3 hours and then started vomiting and didn't stop, it was brown and black and awful. My neck, side, and legs hurt. I'm not doubled over anymore, but still hurting and headaches, so I'm not really sure it has helped. Was given a prescription for Nitrofurantoin mono 100 mg and now I'm scared to take it after reading the reviews. I can't handle the side effects right now."

For Urinary Tract Infection "I was given Macrobid and Cipro first for my UTI at urgent care. Both made me throw up, even with Zofran, so I went back. The doctor gave me this shot. I got it in my buttock, and it didn't hurt at all. The liquid burned a little, but I mean biting my tongue hurts worse than that. Overall, I'm super happy because my symptoms are gone a lot faster than with antibiotic pills, which always upset my stomach anyways. I will be asking for this for every UTI I get moving forward."

For Lyme Disease, Neurologic "After 4 weeks of PICC line daily, I needed gallbladder removal. I was supposed to do 8 weeks of treatment. I ended up stopping at 4. Never completed treatment. I never felt better, I felt terrible every day. I was sick, vomiting, headache, body aches, weak. But most of that is normal other than vomiting and gallbladder. It was also a little inconvenient. But no Lyme is great. I never feel good at all. I'm in a wheelchair now. I'm not well anymore. I don't know that I'll be well until I get remission and a lot of physical therapy between now and then."
