4Taking Probiotics and Antibiotics at the Same Time
In general, it is recommended by many experts and doctors to take probiotics on the same day when you start your antibiotic treatments. When you are on antibiotics, make sure to take them first before taking probiotics. Do not take them exactly at the same time as antibiotics would destroy probiotic bacteria and reduce the effectiveness of the combination. Ideally, you should wait a few hours after taking antibiotics before taking probiotic supplements. In addition, it is highly recommended to keep taking probiotics for 2 weeks after you have completed the antibiotic dose. This can help the microbiome in your gut and intestines get back to normal conditions. [4]
