Chances of getting c diff from taking cefuroxime? 29 year old male. taking for middle ear infection.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not really: You don't get c diff from the antibiotic, but you can allow overgrowth of "bad" germs if you take multiple antibiotics over time. Probiotic preparations can easily help you maintain enough "happy/good" germs to keep the bad ones in check.
