A member asked:
I took clindamycin for a week after wisdom teeth removal 2 weeks ago. now i keep getting heartburn. can the medicine be related to the heartburn?

Possibly: Clindamycin is a very effective antibiotic at killing healthy gut bacteria. Try adding probiotics or yogurt to your diet and if that doesn't help you may want to talk with your doctor about it.
