Why might I experience weakness after taking an antibiotic?

Answer by  patti (29325)

Many antibiotics can cause stomach upset, which will make you feel queasy and weak. Always eat a little something before taking antibiotics. Chances are that you are already feeling weak due to the illness.

Antibiotics are good for clearing infections but they can also weaken your immune system if they are taken for too long or too high of a dose. Try eating yogurt every day and remember to take your vitamin C in order to keep your immune system up.

Because antibiotics are given for an apparent bacterial infection, they cannot differentiate between good and bad in our systems. This can lead to disruption in our natural digestive or elimination processes resulting in Diarrhea and or weakness as our system attempts to restore its balance.

Generally one willnot feel weekness after consuming antibiotics. Some people believe that antibiotics are bad for their health but unless we take antibiotics certain diseases will not be cured. If you don't have any other problem like diabetics, blood pressure etc. , your doubt is only a mental feeling.
