Daily: If you are having an upset stomach or diarrhea from taking your antibiotics you can try eating a 'live culture containing' yogurt with each dose of medicine. In addition, you should try a daily dose of probiotic. Most of my patients find the liquid form works better than the pills. If your diarrhea persists you need to call your doctor.

2 hours before: It is best to take acidophilus 2 hours before an antibiotic. If taken together the antibiotic may kill the bacteria in the acidophilus.
