hi gg,
my doc gave me Ketek once for a sinus infection, and another time I got Augmentin. Both worked.Being the person I am, I immediately looked them both up on the internet to understand all the possible side efx and interactions, because (why not?) there isn't enough to worry about when one has a sinus infection.
I got a bit leery of the Ketek, because I found some news updates saying that some people have suffered serious liver toxicity from ketek. It's not enough people yet to force a black box warning, but it was enough to make me think twice.
I've decided I won't take Ketek again (even though it worked for my sinus!) because I am paranoid, and it's new, and I just don't trust the drug companies right now about being truthful about effects of drugs.
Just my 2 cents!
