  • Drink plenty of water with your course of live cultures.
  • For anyone unable to swallow capsules, open and mix contents of the capsule with a cool meal or beverage.

Antibiotic medication can harm most delicate live cultures. Strains such as Lactobacillus acidophilus/helveticus Rosell-52, Lactobacillus rhamnosus Rosell-11 and Bifidobacterium lactis Lafti B94 have been have been specifically and extensively researched1,2 alongside a variety of antibiotic medication, proven to reach the gut alive, even when taken at the exact same time as short or long courses of antibiotic medication1,2,3. These strains can be found in Optibac Probiotics For Those On Antibiotics.

Live cultures are best taken with food, ideally breakfast, when stomach acidity is closer to neutral. It’s recommended to take 1 capsule of For Those On Antibiotics daily with breakfast - there is no need to take this probiotic at a different time of the day from the antibiotic. Ideally, start taking this supplement at the beginning of the course of antibiotics, but if that's not possible, rest assured these live cultures will still have a good chance of reducing any unwanted side effects. If you are taking every day extra instead, we recommend that it be taken at a different time of day to the antibiotic medication, at least 1-2 hours apart, as it contains delicate bacteria which could be destroyed by the antibiotics.

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.
Gut health supplements are not intended to prevent, treat or diagnose any medical conditions. If taking probiotic supplements for gut health, note that these should not be used as a substitute for a varied and balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle.
If you are taking any medications or have a serious medical condition, consult a doctor before use. Optibac supplements will not cause dependency and may be used on an ongoing basis.
