Is it common to be bloated after finishing lymecycline antibiotics ? i have been for nearly 2 weeks now
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Try a probiotic: Antibiotics can upset the balance of bacteria we all have in our intestinal tract. While lymecycline can be very helpful for certain conditions (especially acne and skin infections), like all antibiotics it can also kill the 'good' bacteria in the intestines. A probiotic contains 'good' bacteria and can help restore balance in your digestion. If diarrhea develops, see your doctor.
