Question : I was suffering from Skin infection. Dermatologist prescribed me AUGMENTIN 625 DEO for 7 days, twice a day. After 5 days, I had to stop the anti-biotic as I started suffering from loose motion. The loose motions are now continuing for two days consecutively. Need suggestions to overcome.
