i had a bad sinus infection and went to the doctors last week. i was prescribed amoxicillin for 10 days. i started taking them last thursday and i’ll be done with them on saturday. i started getting heartburn 3 days into taking them and get it after every meal.

so is it possible for amoxicillin to cause heartburn?
dadnbob: my pill bottle nor the sheet that came with it told me to take with food or a glass of milk.
after i started to get heartburn i decided i should take it with milk but that is not helping very much.

Was on a round of antibiotics (cephalexin) for a bladder infection. Had to quit the meds mid-way through because I got severe stomach cramps and horrible heartburn. I tried it with food, I tried it without food — no difference. One day after I stopped taking it, the stomach cramps and heartburn stopped.

My cramping spasms last more than ten hours at a time. I can not sit or walk and the cramping is only relieved if I lie down.

Have you experienced this after taking a course of antibiotics? I took Ceftin.

I am taking antibiotics for an infection of my tooth for three days now and this morning I woke up with diarrhea. I checked the side effects list, diarrhea was on it. What should I do?

I just got off antibiotics about a week ago and I’m still having diarrhea. How much longer will it take?

Is there anything I can do to remedy this? I’m eating pretty good and taking vitamins with fiber in them.
Thanks a lot.
