Side effects are generally mild and transient. The most frequently reported are gastrointestinal disturbances (nausea, vomiting, diarrhea). These reactions can be minimised if the drug is taken with meals.
Bacterial resistance or superinfections may develop during treatment. Stomatitis, vaginitis or pseudomembranous colitis with severe diarrhea may occur. If a patient develops diarrhea, he/she should consult the physician to rule out the possibility of pseudomembranous colitis.

A rise in hepatic enzymes may rarely occur. Cholestatic jaundice, hepatitis, interstitial nephritis are very rare. Leukopenia, thrombocytopenia, eosinophilia may occur.
