I’ve just been put on a course of antibiotics, 3 a day for 7 days and they are making me nauseous. 
Has anyone else experienced this? And what did you find works best to combat this.

I appreciate what you are saying and I’m inclined to agree with you.  But I have been really really unwell and it has dragged on for a fortnight. 
curiously enough the nausea seems to have passed though.

How sick are you? I've turned them down for the best part of 20 years as I want them to work when I really do need 'em.

I’d make sure I was getting plenty of probiotics as it’s probably wreaking havoc with your gut flora. So, yoghurt, kimchi, Polish pickled cabbage or gherkin - that kind of thing. Sorry, no vodka mind you ;)

I've had this. The solution was to have them delivered, as an out patient, via an IV drip every day.

Pain in the arse if you've got a life, but being a retired old git was no problem for me.

Try eating a few teaspoonfuls of proper greek yoghurt after the tablet if you feel nauseous

I get nausea and diareah whatever antibiotics I take, the worst by far are Metronidazole for tooth infections. It is a common side effect but if it is really making you feel unwell you need them changed. Do not stop taking them until you have consulted your GP.

You are welcome.

I think you need to go back and see your Doctor again.

I think you're confusing WestHamOnline with the World Health Organisation.
