antibiotics

Consultant has put me on co-amoxiclav, reading the leaflet there is some scary sounding side effects, any one had this?

I have a two-week course of co-amoxiclav when I have an exacerbation and it always works well for me, with no side effects apart from mild diarrhoea. I’ve had several different types of antibiotics in the past and, for me, co-amoxiclav has the fewest side effects and agrees with me best.

Thanks.

When reading the side effects on any leaflet I only register the 'one in a thousand' patients reactions figuring I won't be the one in ten thousand to be unlucky. If a bad reaction then I'd contact GP immediately or 111. The only antibiotic that's affected me badly was Erithromycin. Some abs give me a runny tum but I treat myself (as I do the dog) and eat plenty of rice. Good luck White, co-amoxiclav is a good one for me
