I am taking antibiotics and I am experiencing a lot of side effects?

Question

Hello, I am currently undergoing treatment for Pelvic inflammatory disease and rectitis. I am taking 2 antibiotics for 2 weeks (since 4-5 days). I am really tired, more anxious and depressed with headaches and stomach aches. Is this normal?

Hello Mrs Indeed, antibiotics can sometimes cause undesirable effects. However, if these are intolerable for you and could compromise the treatment, I advise you to contact your pharmacist directly. He/she will be able to initiate a consultation tailored to your needs, and contact the prescriber if necessary, if adjustments or modifications are deemed necessary. Sincerely Tom Samaha, pharmacist
