A member asked:

Can i take probiotic capsules while pregnant? after being on antibiotics i want to help restore good bacteria strains.

3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Yes!: Probiotics should be completely safe in pregnancy. And it would be good to have your flora rebalanced after antibiotics.
