Hi,
Dificid (fidaxomicin) causes vomiting and abdominal pain and they are common side effects.
You might be knowing that dificid intake is associated with low risk of recurrence. So your side effects needs to be taken care of symptomatically.
If side effects are severe, you can ask your gastroenterologist about options for interrupting the regimen.
I hope the above information helps you. Thanks for writing into healthcaremagic.
