A member asked:
I have seen dark/black like color of my stools. this happened 1 day after taking some flucloxacillin 500mg 4times daily. is it the antibiotic or blood?

Need to check: The stool can be tested easily for occult blood in most doctor's offices. You should do this, because if is blood you will need further evaluation. It is not flucloxacillin. Good luck.
