Yes, we would recommend that you take ProVen Probiotics both alongside and following a course of antibiotics to help to maintain the balance of bacteria in the microbiome.
Always take the probiotics at least two hours away from each dose of antibiotics as the antibiotics can impact the probiotics in the supplement (as they are designed to kill bacteria).

The products that we recommend alongside antibiotics are our Adult Acidophilus & Bifidus – 50 Billion, Fit for School for children and our Baby product for babies and toddlers.

Some people experience mild side effects when they first start taking a probiotic supplement. These side effects may include gas, bloating and other digestive symptoms.

The Lactobacillus and Bifidus species of bacteria used in ProVen Probiotics are not gas-forming, so do not cause flatulence.

One of the ways these probiotics bacteria work is by crowding out the pathogenic species. It is these ‘bad’ bacteria that can cause fermentation and gas.

After taking ProVen Probiotics for around two weeks, symptoms of extra gas should start to diminish as gut bacterial balance begins to be restored.
