Be careful: Any antibiotic can cause C. Diff!!!!! Some are much worse than others. Z Pack is never the only antibiotic indicated. Avoid all antibiotics unless there is a very clear need. Antibiotics are frequently prescribed for the wrong reasons. Do not take any antibiotic unless you are sure it is the right thing. Do not take longer than needed. Ampicillin, amoxicillin, clindamycin, azithromycin are among t
