Hello, Karma! How are you?

It is a potent antibiotic that can be used to treat various types of bacterial infections, but should only be taken, if the diagnosis has been confirmed by a doctor and they have prescribed it to treat it.

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

Is there anything else I can help with?
