Has anyone taken a medication called Dificid for a C diff infection Did it cure you?

One answer is not sufficient to know how effective Dificid is. I just took my last pill. Praying C-diff does not come back as it has with the three previous medications that I took. I will report back in a couple of months as to whether or not my C-diff reoccurred after taking C-diff. The Dificid cost me $1,560 with Medicare. It is a shame that medications in the US are so expensive that you have to decide what you can live without in order to pay for your medication :-(
