Hi, i had gone through your problem. Basically oflin is an antibiotic which may also act upon the beneficial intestinal flora leading to some gas formation, diarrhea or abdominal discomfort. to get relief from this you can use lactobacillus spores sachets like bifilac or darolac etc along with the oflin. Otherwise you can consult your dentist if the symptoms persists. KINDLY NEVER DISCONTINUE ANY ANTIBIOTIC COURSE WITH OUT DOCTORS ADVICE. Hope this explanation would satisfy your query.
