Keflex and keflex 500mg

17/2/09 I was prescribed Keflex 500mg 3 times a day (every 8 hours) last week after being told that the symptoms I had were possibly due to a kidney infection and to take this over the weekend & ring for the results of the lab test on the urine sample given early Monday morning - I experienced loss of appetite, lower back pain, tingling in my lips & the side of my face(by Sunday night that occurred) severe foot cramps, pains in my leg & stomach pain - my husband advised me Sunday night to stop taking the drug until I had spoken to the surgery. (incidentally the Doctor had been wrong the lab tests showed no kidney infection!!) following cessation I woke up this morning with my whole body drenched in sweat!! My appetite though has returned. I will never take it again!! & all because of a wrong diagnosis!!

I was prescribed Keflex, 500mg, 3 times a day for pre-root canal procedure by my dentist. I took a total of 3 pills and experienced SEVERE migraine headaches and nausea. Keflex made me extremely ill. My pharmacist told me to stop taking them and my dentist prescibed a different antibiotic. I will NEVER take that antibiotic again!!!!!

I HAVE BEEN TAKIN KEFLEX 500MG FOR TWO DAYS FOUR TIMES A DAY. AND BEEN EXPERIANCEING, HEADACES, HOTFASHES.AND HAVE BEEN EATING ALOT

I have been taking Keflex, 500mg, 4 time a day now for 3 days. After two days, I have become hoarse and have a mild headache with a very mild earache. What should I do? Keep taking or what?
