While in hospital I was on IV Zosyn for 5 days every 8 hours. After discharge
I was put on an Ertapenem 30 minute drip every 24 hours for 14 days as outpatient with a PICC line. And vancomycin 2 x daily for 16 days to prevent cdiff from the antibiotics. I had complicated diverticulitis, that's why so much antibiotic. No side effects at all. Finally feel normal again. I am so much better, especially without the phlegm. go figure....wishing you well...
