Content: Sharing any prescription medications is a dangerous practice and can even be deadly. Likewise, never "save up" antibiotics for your own later use. Antibiotics generally work rapidly. Be sure to ask your doctor when to expect results and find out what you should do if you experience no improvement after a couple of days. Antibiotics can cause a number of side effects. Nausea, diarrhea, and allergic reactions are some known side effects of antibiotics. Antibiotics also may kill naturally-occurring bacteria that protect the body from yeast infection, so yeast infections may occur while you are taking antibiotics. Be sure to ask your doctor what kind of side effects you may experience with a particular antibiotic. Always call your doctor if the side effects are severe or worrisome. If your doctor directs you to stop taking an antibiotic or switch to a different antibiotic, properly dispose of all unused medication.
