Augmentin duo forte & Probiotics

I believe you take the probiotic 3-4 hours after you take the antibiotic and several hours before the evening dose. The key is not to take them at the same time or the antibiotic will sweep out the good bacteria along w/ the bad.

quincy: I take the first dose of anti-biotic at 7:30am and the second dose at approx 6:30pm.

Thanks for the advice - I am taking a 9 strain bacterial probiotic and the Australian equivalent of Florastor, the name of which escapes me just now.

My insides do seem to be better after adding the probiotics back in while on these antibiotics though

I just added Erythromycin to my "can't take" list. Within 12 hours of starting it, I had D. By the time I returned to my dentist three days later, I was having that ominous heavy pain across my lower abdomen. I told him he could give me Zithromax, Cipro, or something injectable and syringes. He gave me the Z-pack and my pain was gone the same day, D. much better the next.

I think I'll just change from a "can't take" list to a very short "can take" list.
