Taking live cultures with antibiotics
There’s a lot of confusion over whether it’s okay to take live cultures when you are taking antibiotic medication; however, be reassured, this is probably one of the best times to take them! These products are the most popular choices from our range:
For Those On Antibiotics
A specially formulated product designed for anyone over the age of 4 years who is currently taking a course of antibiotics. We recommend taking this supplement with food, ideally breakfast, even if this is when you take your antibiotics. Unlike other live cultures supplements, which might be affected by this strong medication, the strains in For Those On Antibiotics are fine to take at the same time as your medication.
Every Day EXTRA
A powerful, high-strength supplement containing the world-renowned strains Lactobacillus acidophilus NCFM® and Bifidobacterium lactis Bi-07®. This supplement can be taken with your medication, but due to the delicate nature of the strains it contains, it needs to be taken 2 hours away from the medication. But it’s a very popular choice to take for a month or two following your course of treatment.
Babies & Children
An expertly formulated supplement containing Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG, which has been widely researched in children taking antibiotics. This supplement is particualrly suitable for younger children taking antibiotics as Babies & Children is safe for all ages from birth onwards. If your child is over four years of age, you may choose to give them the specially designed For Those On Antibiotics instead.
