Brief Answer:
Diarrhea is the most common side effect!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this diarrhea that you have reported. Diarrhea is the most common and reported side effect of this drug. Check with your doctor and see whether he can propose another antibiotic in its place.

The best solution is to get this drug changed. talk to your prescribing physician about this and I am sure that he would be able to provide an alternative.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thank you so much for using our services and do feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
