Although most people can take antibiotics successfully, possible side effects include:
Sun sensitivity.
Stomach upset.
Diarrhea.
Vaginal yeast infection.
Metallic taste in the mouth.
Allergy to the drug, resulting in rash or hives.
Severe, potentially life-threatening swelling due to drug sensitivity, called anaphylaxis.
Warnings and Precautions
Since allergies to certain antibiotics like penicillins and sulfa drugs are common, it's always a good idea to find out what class or subclass your prescribed antibiotic is in.
Unless your doctor tells you otherwise, be sure to finish taking all of the antibiotics you were prescribed — even if you start to feel better.
This is extremely important to make sure the infection goes away completely.
If you fail to finish the entire course of therapy, the infection may still be present, and symptoms may return.
Then, if the infection comes back, it will most likely be worse and more difficult to treat.
It's also possible that the antibiotics your doctor originally prescribed may not work as well — or at all — because the bacteria may have become resistant to the original drug.
