Have Severe Stomach Cramps, Watery Stools. Taken FlocLoxacillin. Am I Okay?

Hi, I took FlocLoxacillin 500mg four times a day for 7 days last week and whilst taking them I had severe stomach wind, when I went to the toilet my stools would only come out in bits so had to go several times during the day and I had watery poops so had to change my underclothes several times a day. Since stopping the tablets( now 3 days ago) these symptoms have not gone away. Is this something I should see my doctor about or as the medicine wears off in my system the symptoms will get better?

Hi
Welcome to HCM

You have taken the drug more than its recommended dosage which have caused its adverse effects due over-dosage. take good care of your fluid levels to avoid dehydration and electrolyte imbalance. wait and observe as it is more likely that the symptoms will resolve itself within 2-3 days. If its still there, visit your doctor then

Thanks
