    Yes. Try a dose of Immodium. The diarrhea is a common side effect of antibiotics, since they kill good and bad bacteria alike, they destroy beneficial gut flora. Report any side-effects to your prescriber.

    Definitely do not stop taking Augmentin. For all antibiotics, you should always finish the full course of therapy (due to antibiotic resistance). You can try to minimize the side effects by taking the dose with food or with a cup of milk initially -- - 60% more...

    Augmentin interupting, toliet, third day, bronchitis, diarrhea
    Let's just say I took Augmentin for 3 days total for my bronchitis. I had diarrhea for 3 weeks. I stopped taking it because by the first night I was on the toliet non stop. By the third day it was interupting my daily life. Stay clear.
