How to use
Instructions for use
Food supplement suitable for adults and children, from 1 year onwards, with the following recommendations:
- Take 1 capsule daily with food, preferably with breakfast, every day during your antibiotic course and for a few days afterwards or until the pack has been completed.
- Can be taken at the same time as antibiotics - this product has been clinically trialled alongside antibiotics and found to reach the gut alive.
- Drink plenty of water with your course of live cultures.
- For anyone unable to swallow capsules, the contents of the capsule can be mixed with a cold meal or beverage.
Note: If you are taking particularly long-term antibiotics (a month or more), you may want to consider taking OptiBac For every day EXTRA Strength instead. This supplement would need to be taken with food, preferably breakfast, and 1 - 2 hours away from the antibiotic.
Food supplements should not be used as a substitute for a healthy diet and lifestyle. Those with serious medical conditions should consult their doctor before use. OptiBac will not cause dependency, and may be used on an ongoing basis.
Storage
Like the rest of the OptiBac range, 'For those on antibiotics' does not require refrigeration. Store in a cool, dry place below 25°C and out of direct sunlight.
Safety
Live cultures are not recommended for those with serious medical conditions e.g. those who are severely immunosuppressed, have pancreatitis, are in the ICU, have melaena, have a central venous catheter, infants with short bowel syndrome, or patients with open wounds following major surgery; unless under a doctor's care.

Following the taxonomic updates advised by a global team of scientists and published in April 2020, a reclassification has been proposed for the rhamnosus species. The L. rhamnosus strain in 'For those on antibiotics' may therefore now also be known as Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus Rosell-11.

Excellent in rebalancing my gut health whilst taking antibiotics for tonsillitis. I have now gone on to use Optibac Max EveryDay as part of my continued recovery and I have noticed how both have helped in rebalance and recovery.
-
I took these during a course of Metronidazol and it greatly reduced the side effects. Still had slight nausea, but no thrush this time.
-
I took "For those on Antibiotics" during my H pylori treatment with two antibiotics. Although the antibiotics made me very tired and lose my appetite, I experienced no diarrhoea. The Optibac service was very helpful. I would definitely take these again if I am on antibiotics.
