A member asked:

I was prescribed sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprim for stomach infection, plus ivermectin for parasytes. but, one month ago i finished another treament with ciprofloxacin for an skin abscess. my question is, is it ok to be taking so many antibiotics?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

When you take multiple antibiotics the normal healthy bacteria in your colon can be affected and the balance upset. It is helpful to take a daily dose of an over-the-counter probiotic, be sure you eat lots of fiber, fresh vegetables and fluids in addition to exercise for good colon health.
