\n\tA course of antibiotics is designed to kill bacteria. Unfortunately antibiotics do not discriminate between \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcbad\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 or pathogenic bacteria and \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcgood\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 and beneficial bacteria.<\/p>\n

So the unwanted side-effect of any course of antibiotics to kill bad bacteria \u00e2\u20ac\u201c whether penicillin, tetracycline, cephalosporin or amoxicillin \u00e2\u20ac\u201c is to reduce the level and possibly the range of friendly<\/em> probiotics. That can have adverse effects on your whole immune system.<\/p>\n

Live probiotics can help increase good bacteria<\/span><\/h3>\n

Consequently, taking a live, multi-strain probiotic supplement can help increase the number and diversity of positive bacteria within your gut. As long as the supplement uses hardy strains that resist the acidity of the stomach and do reach the gut.<\/p>\n

The seven strains in Microbiotic Plus have been chosen as there is good quality research on each of them to show they prevent the overgrowth of otherwise harmful bacteria or yeasts. Unchecked, this can lead to diarrhoea and thrush in both men and women.<\/p>\n

However, it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s logical to question the effectiveness of taking a probiotic with<\/em><\/strong> an antibiotic \u00e2\u20ac\u201c rather than after the end of the course. Surely the antibiotic would kill the probiotic?<\/p>\n

A 2008 study published in the \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Journal of Clinical Gastroenterology\u00e2\u20ac\u009d asked this very question. Reviewing 5 meta analyses it found that certain probiotics taken in supplement form significantly reduced diarrhoea in patients taking antibiotics. So those probiotics clearly did retain their effectiveness. The most effective strains appeared to be Lactobacillus<\/em> rhamnosus<\/em>, Bacillus coagulans<\/em> and Streptococcus boulardi<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Take your probiotic supplement 1-2 hours after taking the antibiotic \u00e2\u20ac\u201c and with some food that ideally contains some fats as a 2011 study shows that this is the optimum way. Continue to take a capsule for at least a week after completing the course of antibiotics.<\/p>\n

It is also safe for children to take MicroBiotic Plus.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
