Z Pack and diarrhea?

My cousin just took her first dose of a z pack, and within an hour she got diarrhea. Is this part of the strep throat or a side effect of the z pack?

    Strep and Diarrhea actually do not go together but it is a side effect of the Z pack.

    The Z pack causes diarrhea. But it shouldnt last for long. After the first day she should be fine.

    Diarrhea is a side effect of taking antibiotics. Her prescription should have come with some information from the pharmacist and should include information about the side effects. My last antibiotics prescription also had information about how to counteract the diarrhea.

    It is a side afffect of the z pack. I get it every time. You may also experience stomach pains. If they get really bad call your doctor, he may put you on something else.
