A member asked:

Can the medicine "cold-eeze" cause stomach pain if you're also taking the z-pack antibiotics?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Possible: Cold-eeze is a zinc based lozenge, zinc can irritate the stomach, so food may neutralize symptoms. Also antibiotic not only kills the bad bacteria in your body but the good bacteria, especially in your gut. Consider taking probiotics. I love zinc for cold symptoms. There's some good evidence for this!
