When Is The Best Time To Take Probiotics When You’re On Antibiotics?

I’m on cephalexin (keflex) for a bladder infection, and i was wondering when I should take my probiotic (culturelle) – right after I take my antibiotic, right before I take it, etc. ?

You should take your probiotic several hours before or several hours after your dose of antibiotic. Check with your doctor to see what he/she recommends–It may depend on the number of doses of antibiotic you have to take each day.

My Dr. told me to start at the very beginning & continue for about a month after.
