Omnicef and cramps

I AM A 42 YR OLD WOMAN WHO JUST FOUND OUT I AM PREGNANT. A WEEK PRIOR TO FINDING OUT I HAVE HAD CRAMPING, THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE TUBAL SO I WENT TO THE HOSPITAL AND EVERYTHING WAS RIGHT WHERE IT WAS SUPPOSE TO BE. HOWEVER, THE DOCTOR ON CALL SAID THAT I HAD A SMALL INFECTION IN THE LOWER REGION AND PRESCRIBED THIS OMNICEF. IT HAS BEEN GOING ON 4 DAYS NOW SINCE STARTED TAKING THIS DRUG AND I DON'T KNOW IF THE INFECTION HAS CLEARED BUT I KNOW THE CRAMPS ARE STILL THERE AND I HAVE THE DIS-COLORED STOOLS LIKE EVERYONE ELSE...AFTER READING 2 PAGES OF TESTIMONIES, I HAVE DECIDED TO STOP TAKING THIS DRUG IN FEAR THAT IT MIGHT DO SOMETHING TO HARM MY UNBORN CHILD.

I was given omnicef for a sinus infection, though I was told to take it twice a day , ive only been taking it once a day , due to an unnormal schedule... It has caused me to be so uncomfortable..I cant stand it. I have unbelievable abdominal pain, cramps ... but no diarrhea... Im constipated , one bowel movement a day ... and I also have the rust/ red stools. which is a listed side effect . Ironically, Before being diagnosed with all of this, I was in the doctors office a few weeks earlier complaining of stomach problems. . thinking I may have an ulcer, and my doctor told me It was only stress... yet he never tested me for an ulcer, no x-ray , nor an endoscopy. Now Im on some medicine that apparently may mess me up even more. WOW.

My 7 month old son has been on Omnicef for 1 week. He has had almost black stools and today he was very irritable. On the second day of taking the medicine he didn't want to eat anything. All day he has acted like he has had cramps and has been very gassy. Tonight he woke up with a fever of 102.7 and he just won't sleep. I called the doctors office and the nurse told me that he did't need to be seen until his fever was 103.5. I do not think that I like this medicine. This is his 3rd ear infection in 5 weeks. We need something to clear this ear infection up but I hate the way it makes him feel.

I am an adult woman who took Omnicef for what was thought to be a bacterial infection in my throat. Turned out to just be a cold so I quit taking the Omnicef. A couple weeks later I started getting cramps and side aches. Which is strange because I had a hysterctomy (leaving my ovaries) about four years ago. Turns out I have a vaginal infection which is one of the more common side effects of Omnicef. I don't think that a drug intended to cure one problem should create a totally new problem. What good is this antibiotic? I will never use this drug again.

My 3 year old and my 19 month old are on Omnicef for strep throat. Both have been cranky since starting the antibiotic. My 3 year old son is who is usually very happy and easy going is a monster. Throwing things, slamming doors, disagreeing with everything. My 19 month old daughter has been having a lot of trouble sleeping and has also been very cranky. They took their last dose this morning and right before lunch my 19 month old broke out in a rash, starting on her legs (looks like tiny pimples). When she woke up from her afternoon nap, she seemed to be constipated. She was straining and contoring her body like she had cramps. She was crying and straining so much I though she was going to vomit. We put her in the tub to see if a warm bath would help with the cramps. She rolled around in the tub in pain (crying the whole time). When we took her out, she didn't want to be touch. She didn't want anything to touch her skin (not even a towel). While we were on the phone with the nurse line trying to decide if we should take her to the emergency room, she stopped crying and decided she wanted a fruit cup. This is some bad stuff. Avoid it.
