Hello,

I passed carefully through your question and would explain that diarrhea could be related to clindamycin adverse effects.

For this reason, I would recommend taking re-hydrating solutions with electrolytes and plenty of fluids.

Regarding Atenolol, this is a very low dose and as you started it just yesterday, it is ok to stop it abruptly. Nothing bad is going to happen.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka,
