Diarrhoea is a very common side effect of Pylera (which affects ≥ 1/10 people who use Pylera):

In order to prevent the described side effects, the use of probiotics is recommended, we wrote more about it here:

If the diarrhea occurred a few days after the start of therapy and does not go away, I encourage you to consult a doctor. It may not be related to the use of Pylera and you may need to start with pharmacotherapy. If you are not able to use a stationary visit, I attach a link to the online teleconsultation:

The advice is held in Polish.
If the occurrence of diarrhea is combined with the use of the drug, I encourage you to report the occurrence of side effects. It is worth reporting to the doctor both the symptoms you experience and any adverse effects of the medication. Reporting adverse reactions is crucial to increase the safety of medicines available on the market. You can find more information on how and why to do this in our article:
