Do antibiotics usually cause many side effects? There are so many listed that I am scared to take my medicine

Answer:
Eat some yogurt. Antibiotics can cause yeast infections. For some reason yogurts prevent that. Don't be scared though. Antibiotics will cure whatever is wrong with you!

The alternative is worse: take the medication

No only if allergic.The FDA makes them put these on there the risks are slim to none.If you experience any then contact you Dr.There is no need to worry take your meds.

---

Go to www.drugs.com. That is where I went when trying to identify a pill. It gave me all the information I needed and more.

---

ask your doctor. also, if you are on the Pill, use a backup method, like a condom, because antibiotics cause the pill to fail. it gets metabolized quicker.

no, other than an upset stomach, some irritate your stomach, and all of them kill good bacteria in your gut, so aa is right, eat yogurt to replinish the good bacteria. Yeast infection results when good bacteria die, allowing yeast to have an uncompetitive environment in which all the nutrients are theirs, however im not sure yogurt would prevent this depending on what part of the body it is affecting. P.S. always finish your prescription so you do not become superinfected or contribute to disease resistance

ALL medications have side effects, some more serious than others. You should be most concerned about the common adverse effects which, for antibiotics, are diarrhea, stomach upset and rash but none of these may even happen to you. The benefit outweighs the risk. Take the med.

No, most people don't have any side affects. The most common is diarrhea, but again, most people don't experience that.
If your doctor prescribed it, it's because you need it, so you should take it.
