A member asked:
Is cefuroxime dangerous for a person with high blood pressure and chronic diarrhea?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: No it's not dangerous. However it is a good idea to use a probiotic (ie. Acidophilus, align, florastor) while on the antibiotic in order to reduce the risk of colon infection from c. Difficile bacterial toxin.
