Strep Throat
"I&#039;ve been on a 7 day course of this drug at 500mg twice daily for strep throat.
It has to have been one of the most unpleasant experiences I&#039;ve ever had with an anti-biotic.
Now, I could put up with the awful metallic taste but the absolutely horrendous nausea and fever I was getting was something else. That was aside from the insomnia side effect I received in addition.
It doesn&#039;t do anything for my Strep Throat either, Flagyl is much more effective than this at a lower dosage than Clarithromycin in even a 5 day course.
I would seriously warn anyone who, like myself, cannot take penicillin based medications to seek out an alternate anti-biotic first."
