A member asked:
I'm currently taking augmentin (amoxicillin and clavulanate) for sinus infection and bronchitis. should i continue taking a probiotic or stop while on the antibiotics?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probiotics: Probiotics is used to prevent the side effects of diarrhea from the antibiotics. Diarrhea can sometimes persist after the antibiotics. It may be beneficial to continue the probiotics until the diarrhea resolves. I recommend following up with your provider if you have diarrhea secondary to the use of antibiotics.
