I'm taking azithral 500 for my acne and it's been two days, but now I'm dealing with diarrhea because of it. Should I keep taking the antibiotics, or is it better to stop? I'm worried if there might be any other side effects too. What do you suggest?

Mild soap is advised ex-dermadew soap for local application.
