A member asked:
Prescribed augmentin 875mg, want to take probiotics. i have jarrow sac b. and jarro-dolphilus eps, can these 2 be swallowed at the same time?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, safe to take: These two pills/capsules are certainly safe to take at the same time, however I would question the effectiveness of the probiotic if you take it at the same time. The idea of probiotics is to repopulate the GI tract after antibiotics. If you are taking them at the same time, the antibiotic will likely eliminate the probiotic as well. For best results space these out.
