Hello, Yoli! How are you?

Yes, this is a broad spectrum antibiotic that is used to treat various types of bacterial infections. However, you shouldn't take it, unless your doctor has confirmed that you have an infection and instructed you to take it, because taking it when it is not appropriate creates the risk of your developing antibiotic resistant bacteria.

The FDA lists the typical side effects of this medication as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea.

Is there anything else I can help with?
