All antibiotics kill off both sets of bacteria. I agree with Ju Ju that it is important to take a probiotic at the same time. My doc recommends Optibac which is designed specifically for those on a course of antibiotics.

If you get diarrhoea when taking antibiotics it usually means it's killed bacteria too quickly (poss. because you didn't need it) and it's instead knocked out all your healthy flora. Taking a probiotic with it can help avoid diarrhoea. Perhaps you could take some for a few days now to replenish what you lost if things don't improve.

In Oz they always prescribe the two together.
