What kind of probiotics should I take with a 3 month antibiotic treatment (Apo Doxy)?

Hello ma'am, would it be possible to know the reason why probiotics are desired?

Thank you for the information.

I would like to mention that probiotics have not been shown to be effective for this. Moreover, the bacterial flora can be very different from one person to another, like fingerprints. The products on the market are not personalized. I generally do not recommend them because of this and their price.

That being said, you could try such a product but not expect significant effectiveness. I would also like to point out that some people will have diarrhea with this type of product.

They are available either in capsules or in yogurt such as Activia, Probaclac, or even other types of yogurt containing bacterial cultures. There is no particular line or type to suggest.

Finally, some references indicate that it would be appropriate to space the antibiotic and probiotic intake by at least 3 to 4 hours.

Sincerely,

Tom Samaha, pharmacist
