    Taking an anti-biotic without a medically necessary reason is probably one of the single worse thing you can do to your health. You as an organism are more bacteria than human. If you hit this symbiotic community with a poison, you are essentially poisoning yourself. If you think I'm being dramatic. One round of anti-biotics causes disruption to your intestinal flora for up to a year or more. Two consecutive rounds of anti-biotics increases your chance of death by all causes by %50 percent. It is extremely important for your health to keep your micro-biome healthy.

    Seems as though I have created some emotion about antibiotics. First off I have hardly ever had antibiotics in my 55 years on the planet. The question was about what was normally prescribed for an IM infection.

    AND NO I DON'T HAVE ONE!!!

    My follow up to Dragonslayer's response gives more info about why I asked the question in the first place. Sorry for all the uproar I've caused over a simple question. And thanks MuscleScience for the concern but it was just a question about something I hoped would be easy and simple to answer. And I do take my probiotics everyday to maintain my intestinal flora.
