A member asked:

How long does the loose stool caused by azythromycin last? thank you

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends: This is strictly dependent upon what is causing the diarrhea and what is being done to correct it. If this is clostridium difficile colitis you may have a very serious problem requiring intervention by a knowledgeable physician. Go see somebody soon. Hope this gets better asap.
