For Bacterial Infection "The Urgent care physician diagnosed me with moderate case of swimmers ear. He prescribed me the antibiotiic cefuroxime, 500Mg, for a period of 7 days. After reading other reviews I did use one probiotic pill each day along with probiotic yogurt. To make a long story short I had no problems with my bowels. However the drug did provide me with a constant moderate headache. Otherwise than that no other side effects. Unfortunately, the drug did nothing to resolve my ear infection. So, today, a different physician is going to have me try Ciprofloaxin. I was hoping to avoid Cipro as it is a lot harder on the body with a bigger spectrum of side effects. Good luck to anyone else who tries cefuroxime."

For Urinary Tract Infection "I am a 39y male. UTI symptoms along with back pain. Doctors took my urine sample and while waiting for the results put me on this Ceftin 500mgx2 a day. Started this medicine 8 days ago, at first I felt a relief then symptoms were intermittent on and off until the day 7 when I started feeling better, back pain is gone and no painful urination. Meanwhile my doc called me and told me there is no infection and further testing is needed. It might be that my prostate could have been infected, not sure. Per overall I feel it is working, will see on my day 10 when I finish it."

For Bronchitis "One of the best antibiotics for me... I was amazed how well it worked. Down side: taste is horrible but that's probably why it's so good. My side effects were plentiful but the risks outweighed the bad... My biggest side effect was nausea and vomiting there were lots of moments I had to run to a bathroom or get out of a moving vehicle.... With all that, I'm still grateful. I was sicker then ever before. I slept last night fully for the first time in almost 3 weeks... If like me one of your symptoms are no appetite either force feed yourself or find an alternative with your doctor. I'm sure being able to eat would've helped ease my stomach. Feel better. Had some dizziness and vaginitis.."

For Bronchitis "Was prescribed this with prednisolone for bronchitis while on a work trip. Worst experience ever. After three days, continued with a fever, chills, non productive cough, and an increasing tightness in my chest. Turns out, the prednisolone was masking an allergic reaction to this drug, though I had never had any prior reaction. Within 10 hours of the final dose of prednisolone, full blown anaphylaxis set in, along with an obvious trip to the ER, and wound up contracting pneumonia from all the fluid buildup from the reaction. Now I'm left with steroid and rescue inhalers, a different antibiotic, a prescription antihistamine until this stuff is fully out of my system, and a set of epipens to carry around if this ever happens again."

For Bronchitis "My second day in, I feel like I’m not getting any better. Chills and fever have gone away but still coughing heavily and feeling really tired. Also no appetite really. Maybe I just need to finish the course."

For Upper Respiratory Tract Infection "LUPIN manufactured cefuroxime 250 mg tablets are the WORST tasting tablet!!!!! DO NOT have your pharmacy fill the script if it is manufactured by LUPIN. When you place the tablet in your mouth (not your tongue), it leaves a bitter aftertaste. It is terrible. I started vomiting."

For Strep Throat "I was prescribed cefuroxime to treat strep and a UTI. Throat felt better within a day UTI took like 3-4 days for all symptoms to go away. The pill for this is big though and it’s hard to swallow and if you don’t swallow it in the first gulp it is legit the absolute worst taste in your mouth I’ve ever experienced. It legit made me throw up from the taste."

For Bronchitis "I took this medicine at night and when I got up in the morning my lips had a white film on them and I pulled it off. I looked in the mirror and there was this white film on and inside my mouth.There was a thick coating on my tongue that resembled spongy like material. I stopped taking the medicine."

For Middle Ear Infections "I was given this for an ear infection in both my ears & I must be in the minority here looking at all the reviews, but I had an awful experience. The first thing that happened was right after I took them, it have awful burps reminiscent of the way a brand new plastic tote box smells, truly like acidic plastic was all I could think to describe it. Then after a few doses I started becoming reaaalllllly really nauseas, like painful nausea. I got very lightheaded & literally just leaned up against my bed from the floor & either passed out like that or whimpered like a baby most of last night. I’m allergic to penicillin, vancomycin, & had a reaction to IV Levaquin, but always did well with Keflex & Cipro, so we thought I’d be fine. I’m scared to finish the course of antibiotics honestly, I guess I just had a bad reaction. But what I did take helped my ear infection so I’m still giving it some stars for effect."

For Sinusitis "Have been having bad sinus infection as to where my nose hurt so bad I couldn’t sleep. Went to doctor put me on Cefuroxine 500 mg twice a day. I notice after taking one day dose I was feeling sick to stomach and feel tired in my legs arms whole body. I called doctor to tell her and she said to push through it. My body is fighting the infection. So I lay on my sofa and praying that I will feel better soon. This day 2 and I still feel the same. Taking cough syrup for nausea that helps me sleep. I’ve been reading all comments and it looks like most say 3 rd day you feel good here’s hoping that’s true."

For Bronchitis "I get bronchitis every year and so I can see it coming a mile away. I have routinely been prescribed a Z-Pack which clears me up on Day 3 of 5 if not earlier. For some reason, this time, a different doctor from the same practice prescribed Cefuroxime Axetil 250 mg x2 daily for 10 days. I went backwards before forwards, it took several days to clear me (even though I got it treated early as usual), and left me lethargic....more so than the shortness of breath itself. Maybe the doctor was concerned that the Z-Packs would start to lose effect for me but I will take that chance in the future."
