I am 15 weeks pregnant I was put on this medication for a UTI 2 capsules a day for 7 days I took 3 doses and didn't think much about mood changes because of being pregnant, after 4th dose I experienced severe vomiting, at the same time my nose was gushing blood, and I became extremely confused and unable to speak anything that made sence, I read possible side effects some included unusual bleeding confusion mood or mental changes severe vomiting. I contacted my doctor she then put me on keflax I have been fine ever since.

Wow! Those are very unusual side effects, indeed. Glad you got it all straightened out, though.

You may want to make sure it's listed under the allergy section of your medical records, to make sure no one tries to give it to you in the future.

I really, really don't like this med, but people are saying I shouldn't stop it, because it's an antibiotic and I should finish it.
