    Ceftin is my antibiotic of choice. I have taken the 500mg every 12 hours for 10 days and even went on a long course of 250mg per day. That was was knocked out a stubborn relapsing UTI. Antibiotics work differently on different people. I had no problem with Ceftin at all and I am a senior citizen.

    If you google all the different antibiotics, you will read from people that have horrible side effects from all of them. Just depends on the individual.
