I am taking dificid 200 tablets a day. Before my gastroelogist tried ciproflaxin. I have a real bad c-diff infection. I have crohns colitis and I ve been sick for a very long time. I m worried because even taking the dificid doesn t seem to be helping. What happens when the dificid doesn t work even after finishing the bottle?

Hello,
I have gone through your query and understood your concerns. I will suggest you tab.vancomycin orally for this as there is no change with other drugs. I also suggest you to make yourself well hydrated and if needed hospitalization is required in this case. Thank you.
