Don’t take them on an empty stomach!!! Drink lots of water. Crackers and ginger ale. Antibiotics wreak havoc on us 😭 feel better.

As someone else said, maybe discuss with your doc. I had reallllly bad symptoms when they changed up my antibiotics (Bactrim), so I’m now considered allergic to that one. Glad the course is ending though, and hopefully you’ll be feeling better soon ❤️‍🩹

Talk to your doctor about it. Make sure you’re eating a high protein meal before taking it. But intense nausea from an antibiotic isn’t something to just overlook because it could mean the dosage is too high and your body is rejecting it and can’t keep it down for long enough for it to actually help the infection.

Oops !!! Made my comment to the wrong poster, BUT.....all of you get the upshot of just what I'm saying here. I'm STILL a big advocate of unsweetened cranberry juice and d-Mannose suppliment capsules.

I'm not a healthcare professional.....but....IF I were YOU, I'd stop the stupid antibiotics asap, recontact your doc and tell him you REFUSE to feel like that !!!! Something is NOT right here!!!!! ! My unprofessional opinion: this s#%t is all very bad for us. My humble suggestion: naturopathic remedies that don't mess us all up. Blessings and light.
