I was prescribed it last week for a bacterial infection.  Took it 4 times and my face started to break out in a rash. Called the pharmacist and then the doctor.  Both said i was having an allergic reaction to the medicine. Both said to stop taking it. I go to the doctor next week to ddiscuss other options.  So just watch out for that.....
