Can u take antibiotics while on stelara (ustekinumab)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Should be okay: though the antibiotics may hang around your body a little longer. Stelara (ustekinumab) can also cause diarrhea, upset stomach, cold symptoms, and skin rash. If the antibiotics also cause these adverse effects, then the effect will be magnified.
