Hello, Patrick! How are you? I'm sorry that you're ill.
Yes, it is an antibiotic that can be used to treat many types of bacterial infections. However, you shouldn't take it, unless your doctor has verified the presence of an infection and prescribed it for you. It might not be the right antibiotic to treat your infection, or you may not have enough to fully eradicate the infection and both scenarios create the risk of developing antibiotic resistant bacteria.
Side effects may include nausea, dizziness, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea.
Is there anything else I can help with?
