When to Take Good Bacteria When On Antibiotics?

My Dr. put me on an antibiotic for a bacterial infection. Can I take

a probiotic (good bacteria) while I'm on the antibiotic, or should I

wait until I finish them to take the probiotic? Thank you

 

 

 

Dr. Mercola's Comments:

 

There is a common confusion that one should wait until they are

finished with the antibiotic to start the good bacteria. Even though

the antibiotic is killing the good bacteria, that is exactly when you

need it the most. So I would triple the dose, as it will tend to

prevent the common diarrhea complication many have with the

antibiotic.

Probiotics MUST be taken when on probiotics.

 

The best time to take them is in between doses of the antibiotic, before, during and after a meal.

 

On the four days after the antibiotic is complete, take the probiotic before and after each meal of the day.

 

After that take the probiotic when awaking and before going to sleep for 4 to 6 weeks.

 

If an extended release antibiotic is used ( such as the Z-pak) use saccharomyces, three times daily for one month. After the month switch to a different probiotic using the 4-day loading dose and the 4 to 6 week maintenance dose as outlined above.--- On Fri, 10/24/08, rpautrey2 <rpautrey2 wrote:
