Side effect: This could be a side effect of the antibiotic. You will get the best answer from your doctor or your pharmacist. Call and ask if you are concerned about taking the last dose. Remember this medication will stay in your system for several days.

Never: Never discontinue any medication without first checking with the prescribing physician or dentist. Your symptoms may be due to the antibiotic, other medications or supplements, as a symptom of the problem for which the antibiotic was prescribed, or a coincidental but u associated problem. Check with the doctor who prescribed the medication for you.
