Optibac For Those on Antibiotics - 10 Capsules
I have taken these probiotics twice now; once to restore balance after taking antibiotics and again after a few weeks when I felt my gut was still not quite right. They did the trick both times and I would take them again if I felt any kind of digestive unease.

I take these probiotics on a regular basis. Not after I have had antibiotics, but when I feel run down and feel that I need a boost. I take them alongside my other Optibac probiotics. In my opinion, Optibac are the best on the market and I only ever buy this brand now. Give them a try!

Optibac For Those on Antibiotics - 10 Capsules
I usually try to avoid antibiotics, but due to a complex medical condition I`ve had multiple courses in the last few months. I was really worried about how they might affect me and was delighted when I found this product. I take them alongside each course of antibiotics now and I`m sure they help me. I then top up afterwards with the OptiBac everyday if I need to. Highly recommend.

I have used Optibac probiotics now for a couple of years. I find the one for women and the one for when you are on antibiotics beneficial, also the everyday extra strength ones -- all beneficial.
Thankyou bodykind, your staff are friendly and very helpful.

Optibac For Those on Antibiotics - 10 Capsules
A recent course of antibiotics left my gut feeling not so happy. A couple of days on these probiotics and I felt back to normal. I hope I don`t need antibiotics again but, if I did, I would definitely take them. Highly recommended.

It`s a great product. I take these every time I take antibiotics. I believe it`s vital to replenish your good bacteria during and after a course of antibiotics.

Optibac For Those on Antibiotics - 10 Capsules
I highly recommend this product. Antibiotics zap gut bacteria both good and bad. This product gives you a chance to start off again with good bacteria as the basis. By starting off well and continuing to eat well maybe the bad bacteria will be less likely to repopulate.

Optibac For Those on Antibiotics - 10 Capsules
Took these probiotics along side amoxicillin and erythromycin for a dental abscess .After two weeks I found my body began to itch in areas. After further research I read that this may be a side effect from taking any probiotic. I have however purchased more of this product as a precaution to make sure I have something to take if I need more antibiotics. Currently taking shop bought probiotic yogurts which I enjoy although I am unsure if the number of probiotic strains would be enough to work along side antibiotics.

Optibac For Those on Antibiotics - 10 Capsules
What a fantastic little find. Getting thrush used to be a normal part of taking antibiotics for me. However taking this alongside the my last course worked an absolute treat. I avoided the usual side effects, and even recovered quicker from my cold - perhaps thats because i was so relieved!
30 million antibiotics are prescribed every year in the UK, making them one of the most prescribed medications.
70% of all antibiotics are prescribed in primary care. Antibiotics are prescribed to treat bacterial infections but can cause side effects including:
Diarrhoea (AAD)
Thrush & other vaginal infections
Abdominal discomfort
Reduced appetite
Nausea
Bloating
Antibiotic-associated diarrhoea is the most common, affecting up to 35% of individuals.
What effect do antibiotics have on bacteria?
Antibiotics upset the delicate balance of the gut microbiome and are one of the leading causes of gut dysbiosis. Antibiotics kill both good and bad bacteria increasing the risk of opportunistic organisms thriving and causing side effects. Even a short course of antibiotics can impact the gut microbiome for up to 6 months.
When should I take For Those on Antibiotics?
Unlike other probiotics for antibiotics, For Those On Antibiotics can be taken at the exact same time as antibiotics - perfect for convenience!
Ideal for short courses of antibiotics, only one capsule is required per day regardless of antibiotic type or dosage
