It's called clindamycin and I have to take 2 150 mg capsules 3 times a day. Ever since I've been taking them, I've gone from going to the bathroom (#2) once every 2 days to 2-3 times a day, what is going on?!


Answer:
Continue taking it until the course is complete. It doesn't sound like a dangerous side affect, might be due to the normal 'friendly' bacteria in your gut being wiped out.

Of course if you are worried, you should talk to your physician.


Answer:
if your increased stool is normal than I would not suspect any serious side effects. However, if your stool is watery (diarrhea) then I would strongly recommend seeking medical help as this might be a sign of a serious side effect which left without treatment may result in death. As with any medical situation, if you have doubts or questions it would be ideal to consult with a doctor.
