Today I got put on antibiotics for strep throat, Zpack or something like that, and I have been urinateing more. I mean about every 20 mins i have to pee real bad. Can antibiotics do this to people, or has my body starting getting weird again?

This is more than likely a symptom of being sick, period. Your body is attempting to flush the Strep germ out. You do however, probably drink more water because you are taking meds, and this, along with being sick, is what's causing the frequent urination.
Get well.

I've been on zpak many times along with other antibiotics...they all have different effects but haven't ever heard that they make you urinate more, diarreah yes. I would be careful though they can cause yeast infections and if you are on several doses as I was this summer for pneumonia, i got the infection in my mouth, known as thrush...VERY painful.

Antibiotics tend to have many side effects, so it could be possible. Drink lots of water just to make sure everything is flushing through your body properly. Antibiotics can also cause vaginal infections.

Call you pharmacist or doctor and tell them what reaction you are having. Also, look at the insert that came with the medication to see if this is one of the side effects.

A z-pak (and other antibiotics) wouldn't make you urinate more frequently. If it continues, go back to your doctor.
