Augmentin (amoxicillin and clavulanate) antibiotics causes diarrhea for me any other antibiotics which is in this same group that i should stay away?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: This is not an allergy, per se. Diarrhea is likely caused by the killing of certain healthy gut bacteria. Sometimes it is helpful to eat yogurt (with culture) or take probiotic. As always, only take antibiotic for the needed duration, and not longer, in order to minimize side effects.
