Stay out of sunlight and eat before taking them .. not the nicest antibiotic but they do work well for me !!!! Good luck

Ah I took two earlier, before I ate tea and I was feeling rubbish. But have to admit that i feel better now I’ve eaten. So I’ll know for tomorrow!

Thank you!!!

A lot of people react to these with nasty side effects in my experience at work .. but if you can take them and you suffer no side effects they are effective...

Eat when you take them. I've just come off 3 weeks of them with no side effects :)

I had to stop taking it as I was getting blisters in soft tissue areas. I also have reactions to septrin, and some penicillins

They work really well but follow what it say.s and even when its cloudy put sunscreen on your face etc because you will burn .

Be very careful in sunlight

Take with full glass of water and don’t lie down for a good 2 hrs after taking them x

Don’t drink ‘any’ booze when using them as doing so serious impacts their effectiveness.
