Diarrhea may occur after taking Azithromycin.
Diarrhea after taking azithromycin may be caused by an adverse reaction to azithromycin when other factors are ruled out. The most common side effect of azithromycin is a gastrointestinal reaction, which may include abdominal pain, diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting after taking azithromycin.
Patients can stop the drug and drink a lot of warm water to promote azithromycin out of the body, diarrhea symptoms will gradually reduce until disappear. If the condition requires that azithromycin must be taken, it should be taken 2 hours after meals.
Diarrhea after taking azithromycin may also be caused by azithromycin killing intestinal bacteria, causing intestinal flora imbalance. Patients can take oral live bacterial preparations to regulate the intestinal flora, such as Bifidobacterium trifidum.
If the diarrhea persists unabated, go to the hospital in time, under the guidance of the physician to carry out the next examination and treatment.
