Omnicef and drug companies

Omnicef did get rid of my son's ear infection, however, he developed Pollakiuria (feeling the urge to urinate constantly throughout the day) which may or may not be related to Omnicef. He did have the clay/reddish stool, but that is a known side effect and is not dangerous. I found out that children should not be given vitamins with iron while on Omnicef - too much iron creates the clay colored stool. I did ask my doctor to report the Pollakiuria as a possible side effect. Drug companies appreciate the information and use it to develop their drugs better. Be sure to report the side effects!
