How to use probiotics during antibiotic treatment?

Antibiotics fight infection-causing bacteria but may have side effects.
One of the most common side effects of antibiotics is that they can damage the natural gut microbiota, which may lead to digestive problems or even secondary infections. The use of probiotics can help restore this microbial balance, alleviate these symptoms, or in some cases prevent them altogether, while also improving overall health.
Key rules and important considerations:
- Always take antibiotics exactly as prescribed by your doctor and never stop the treatment prematurely.
- Probiotics should be taken daily starting from the first day of antibiotic therapy and continued for at least 4–5 days after the antibiotic course has ended.
- Always wait two to three hours after taking the antibiotic before taking the probiotic.
- Choose a probiotic preparation—preferably containing gut-specific strains—with a high bacterial count (5–10 billion CFU per day).
- Take the probiotic with food or a beverage at room temperature whenever possible.
