Is this for a child or adult? I have not heard of it.

Bactrum DS so it is 2 ABX in one I was told. Scared to take it, I want to get better, but afraid of the HERX!!

Elizabeth,
i took it it for 2 months and never had a reaction. if you are new to this all what you want is a herx....which is a way to know the meds are working. Sucky way to find out i agree.
