  • Which is less harmful to the stomach/intestines - antibiotics in tablets or injections?

  • The choice between antibiotics in tablet form versus injections can depend on various factors, including the specific antibiotic, the condition being treated, and the individual's health profile. Here's a general overview:

    1. Tablets/Oral Antibiotics: These are often implicated in stomach and gastrointestinal issues, as they pass through the digestive system. Common side effects include nausea, diarrhea, and upset stomach. Oral antibiotics can disrupt the natural flora of the gut, potentially leading to dysbiosis or antibiotic-associated diarrhea1.

    2. Injections/Intravenous Antibiotics: These typically bypass the gastrointestinal tract, which can result in fewer direct stomach and intestinal side effects. However, they might have other side effects, such as pain at the injection site or systemic effects like allergic reactions2.

    Each method of administration has its considerations, and the choice should be guided by a healthcare provider based on the individual's specific medical needs and history. For those with pre-existing gastrointestinal issues, healthcare providers might lean towards intravenous options to minimize stomach upset.
