Antibiotics are the number one cause of C. diff infections. For many people, it starts with a routine prescription — clindamycin for dental work, Cipro for a UTI, or cephalosporins for a sinus infection. Weeks later, they’re facing relentless diarrhea, relapse fears, and frustration when switching antibiotics or trying Imodium doesn’t work.

In this video, you’ll learn which ones to watch for, what factors raise the odds of C. diff, and the questions you can ask your doctor to feel more confident about your choices.

The highest risk of C diff come from the antibiotics clindamycin, cefdinir, cefuroxime, and fluoroquinolones vs doxycycline (Zhang J, Chen L, Gomez-Simmonds A, Yin MT, Freedberg DE. Antimicrob Agents Chemother. 2022;66(12):e01129-22. doi:10.1128/aac.01129-22). PubMed

Comparative risk & duration: 10- and 14-day courses increased risk 12% and 27% vs 7-day; risks differ widely even for similar indications (Brown KA, Langford B, Schwartz KL, et al. Clin Infect Dis. 2021;72(5):836-844. doi:10.1093/cid/ciaa124). PubMed

Lower-risk antibiotics: Doxycycline/minocycline show relatively low CDI promotion in clinical/mechanistic work (Xu D, Liu A, et al. Gut Microbes. 2022;14(1):2066005. doi:10.1080/19490976.2022.2066005). PMC
