Suggest A Remedy For C.diff

I accidentally took 2 amox tr-k clv 875-125mg. I also suffer from inactive c.diff which was brought on by prescription Cipro antibiotics. I m assuming amox isn t toxic so, do you think the c.diff will come back or worse? Also anything else that may happen.

It's not that the amox is toxic, but that antibiotics can wipe out the normal bacteria in the colon, and if C diff is present, it can start to overgrow. Probably just 2 doses won't be enough to cause that, but it is still possible, so be on the lookout for C diff symptoms. Get treated right away if they occur. As far as the amox causing other problems, unless you are allergic, that was not a toxic dose so you should be okay. Hope this helps.
