Gas in the stomach can sometimes be a side effect of certain medications, but it depends on the specific medicine you are taking. Some drugs can affect digestion or cause increased gas production.

To help you better, it would be useful to know the name of the medication. Meanwhile, here are a few general points:

• Common medications that may cause gas: Antibiotics, pain relievers like NSAIDs (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs), some diabetes medications, and certain supplements.
• What to do: If you notice persistent or uncomfortable gas after starting a new medication, talk to your doctor or pharmacist. They can confirm if it’s related and suggest ways to manage it.
• Do not stop your medication without consulting your healthcare provider.

If you provide the name of your medication, I can give you more specific information about its side effects related to gas or digestion.

For any ongoing concerns, please consult your prescribing doctor or a gastroenterologist. If you experience severe symptoms like intense abdominal pain, vomiting, or difficulty breathing, seek emergency care immediately.
