i am38 weeks pregnant. I have used ampiclox for urinary infection.from that day i am having loose motions 7 to 8 per day.it is continuing even though i stopped medication.are loose motions because of head down pressure of foetus or anything else...kindly advice
Hi, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns. Ampiclox contains amoxicillin and cloxacillin which are antibiotics and have a side effect of diarrhoea because of the altered bacterial flora of the intestines. Diarrhoea does not occur due to the pressure of the fetal head. I would suggest you to consult an OBGYN specialist to get properly examined, investigated and treated, as inpatient if required. Hope you found the answer helpful. Wishing you good health. Regards, Dr Deepti verma
