In the treatment of many diseases, antibiotics are prescribed. They are the most effective means in the therapy of any inflammatory or infectious pathologies. Very often, with diseases of the ENT organs, gastrointestinal tract or bile ducts, as well as in the event of postoperative infectious complications, Amoxiclav is prescribed. This drug has a wide spectrum of action, but it, like most pharmacokinetics similar to pharmacokinetics, has side effects, so it is not uncommon for patients prescribed this antibiotic to ask whether diarrhea after Amoxiclave may appear. The usual response of specialists to this question is that diarrhea is a natural manifestation for such an antibiotic and passes on its own after the therapy is over.
This drug belongs to a new generation and, although it has side effects, they have a weak degree of severity and a transient nature. Most often, their appearance during treatment with this antibacterial agent is noted on the part of the digestive system. Many sick people note that when taking Amoxiclav, diarrhea is accompanied by nausea, vomiting and loss of appetite. Diarrhea that has arisen against this medication, has a watery consistency, but it does not follow the accompanying acts of defecation pain.
Diarrhea from Amoxiclav, what should I do?
Diarrhea after this drug mostly occurs if there has been no special preventive measures to prevent the development of intestinal pathologies. Amoxiclave will not cause diarrhea, vomiting and other side effects from the gastrointestinal tract if certain precautions are taken when taking this medicine:
- This antibiotic is taken exclusively during meals and is washed down with a lot of liquid;
- Simultaneously with it, probiotics should be given - a means containing living bacteria and contributing to the recovery of the intestinal microflora.
But what if there was diarrhea during the treatment, which was provoked by Amoxiclav? Diarrhea in this case is subject to urgent treatment with the help of the same pro- and prebiotics. A good effect in this case is achieved due to the use of natural sour-milk products with living bacteria. You can distinguish them by the shelf life - it should not exceed 7 days. In addition, the patient should adjust the diet and start to follow the appropriate diet. It provides for the exclusion from the diet of heavy fatty foods for the digestive organs.
