A member asked:
Why do antibiotics make you so thirsty? im on clindamycin
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Abx and thirst: That is an interesting quesiton. I have not known of abx to cause increased thirst. Have never had patients tell me this. Makes me wonder if something else is going on. Have you been screened for diabetes? Might want to discuss this quesiton with your healthcare provider.
