A member asked:
When should you take the probiotics when taking the antibiotics ciciprofloxacin and metronidazole?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Both during & after: I advise taking probiotics both during & after antibiotic therapy. It is wise to take sacchromyces boulardii (like florastor) during treatment to prevent antibiotic-associated diarrhea & yeast overgrowth & a high potency acidophilus/bifidus (at least 20 billion bacteria) both during treatment and for 2-4 weeks afterwards.
