Dr. Ryan Phasouk answered

Specializes in Family Medicine

Depends: In general, antibiotics can upset the gastrointestinal tract. It is true that some antibiotics are worse than others, however it more so depends on the individual. For example, Amoxicillin is generally accepted as well tolerated but can cause severe gastrointestinal symptoms in others.
