Can probiotics be used at the same time as antibiotics?

Yes, evidence shows that taking a probiotic at the same time as an antibiotic can reduce the incidence of antibiotic-associated diarrhoea. For the best results, give the probiotic at the opposite end of the day to the antibiotic. Where this is not possible, give the probiotic at least three hours after the antibiotic. The probiotic will not affect the efficacy of the antibiotic.
