What are the side effects of Duratuss AC12 and Omnicef?

Question

I went to a walk-in clinic yesterday cause I was feeling sick.. (Turned out to be bronchitus(sp?)) And he perscribed Duratuss AC12 and Omnicef...

What are the side effects?

Cause after taking the meds, my stomach has been feeling really weird.. Like, bad weird. It feels like there's air in my stomach... (I didn't eat fast or eat different foods..so it's not that...)

I called and asked the doc who was in today, and she told me "its probably from the antibiotics" but acted like it was nothing...

It hurts, and I'm wondering if it's cause of the meds? And what are the other side effects?

I guess having tummy pains is better than feeling like i have to cough every time i breathe in, though.. hmm

Anyway, thanks for your time..and answers..:-) They're appreciated.

This medication can dry up and thicken mucus in your lungs, making it more difficult to breathe and clear your lungs. To help prevent this effect, drink plenty of fluids unless otherwise directed by your doctor.If this drug is a prescription, remember that your doctor has prescribed it because the benefit to you is greater than the risk of side effects. Many people using this medication do not have serious side effects.Tell your doctor immediately if any of these unlikely but serious side effects occur: mental/mood changes (e.g., confusion, hallucinations), ringing in the ears, shaking (tremors), trouble urinating, weakness.Tell your doctor immediately if any of these rare but very serious side effects occur: easy bruising/bleeding, chest pain, fast/slow/irregular heartbeat, seizure.A very serious allergic reaction to this drug is unlikely, but seek immediate medical attention if it occurs.
