i havent had diarrhea while i took ikeflex 500mg (a week worth). but after i finished it all, i started having diarrhea. its been going for 3 days. what does this mean? because i didnt have diarrhea while i was on this medication after my staph infection treatment
i havent ate anything different or unusual so i do not believe it's from what i ate. thank you

Broad spectrum Anitibiotics arent a Sniper....They are more like a Shotgun or Mortar. They don't only kill the infections bacteria, they kill everything they can. This can and often does do strange things to you digestive tract. I'm currently on Azithromycin (Strep, Swine Flu, and Tonsillitis....In the same week. BAD week for me) and its having the same effect on me. Dont worry too much about it unless you start getting Dehydrated, Then i would contact your doctor.

could be a virus? Since your finished taking the cephlexin antibiotic
remember to drink plenty of fluid and try the brat diet(bananas,rice,applesauce and toast. if not better go see your doctor.
