While killing the bad bacteria in your body it can also kill off the good bacteria normally found in the intestines. A major problem with this is yeast gone wild, starting in the intestines from an overgrowth of Candida, this yeast can migrate out from the intestinal tract - causing thrush in the mouth, throat and esophagus. Yeast will also find it's way to the vagina and rectum causing severe internal and external itching.
The best defense for this is a strong offense. Taking enteric coated garlic capsules regularly and eating live-culture yogurt if you have a chronic problem or to use (live) lactobacillus - acidophilus supplements during antibiotic treatment. These methods when taken with the antibiotic will prevent the overgrowth of Candida -
