Need expert help. i am taking zythromac and i have really bad diarrhea. can i take pepto bismol (bismuth subsalicylate) to relieve it?

Yes, you can.: When taking an antibiotic, it can change the normal bacterial balance in the large intestine. Better also use a balancer like acidophillus in capsule form or a yogurt with active cultures like dannon or even activia.
