Answers:
Contact the pharmacist at the pharmacy you bought the antibiotics from. He or she will ask you some questions and work out what is best for your situation. Sometimes the fact that you are experiencing diarrhoea means that not much of the drug has time to be absorbed and metabolised - that is, you aren't getting much out of taking the antibiotics in the first place. Have a chat with your pharmacist and take it from there.

All the best. =)Health Question & Answer

Depends on how bad the diarrhea is.? Are you getting weak.?
Is your sinus infection better.?
And finally how long have you been on the antibiotic.?
If you are getting weak, call the doctor.
IF your sinus infection is better, you should be able to stop the medicine.
If you are about done with the antibiotic, you could stop.
Usually it is just one of those bad side effects, a nuisance.
You might try to eat rice or yogurt.
