Does Anyone Know If You Can Take Probiotics At The Same Time As Taking Antibiotics.?
Posted by: Alan in Probiotics, tags: Antibiotics, Anyone, Does, Know, Probiotics, Same, Take, Taking, Time
you are advised to take probiotics after antibiotics to replace the ‘good’ bacteria and prevent you from getting an infection from any possible antibiotic resistant bacteria particularly C. diff
there is no point taking probiotics during your course because they will get killed

I dont think so as the antibiotics kills bacteria regardless of good or bad.

You have to take them -at least- -and no less- than three hours apart
or you can take them after your antibiotic prescription runs out.
Also when people start feeling better they think they no longer need the antibiotic but you have to take the whole script.

You can take probiotics during antibiotic treatments. . They should be taken as far away from the antibiotics as possible (for instance, if the antibiotics are to be taken every eight hours, the probiotic supplements should be taken four hours after the antibiotics). Probiotic therapy should be continued a week to a month beyond the antibiotic treatment period to replenish any beneficial bacteria lost during antibiotic use. Probiotic use should not interfere with the effectiveness of antibiotics

I don’t take drugs, but they say that antibiotics will destroy your good bacteria, so you need to replace it.
I don’t know if you take it at the same time, or in between taking the drugs, but probiotics is a smart thing
thanks for reminding me, I need to take some too

you can but the antibiotics would kill the probiotics so save money and leave the probiotics alone until your course of antibiotics is complete.

Absolutely.
Probiotics are a natural bacterial supplement designed to replenish your intestines with the good bacteria they need to fight off disease. Antibiotics wipe out these bacteria while attempting to destroy the bacteria that are harming you. Probiotics come in many forms, yogurt and similar products are the most frequently used, but any form should be equally safe and effective.
You should take them every day, since the antibiotics will continue to try and destroy them as you’re adding them.
