What is the point of taking probiotics and antibiotics at the same time?

200 views

I work at a doctors office and when I’m reading chart notes, I see a lot that someone gets prescribed antibiotics, and the doctors will always write in there to take probiotics at the same time.

Wouldn’t it make more sense to take the probiotic AFTER finishing the antibiotic course? Because I would think that taking them both would be pointless, because the antibiotics would immediately kill the probiotics that you just took… right?

It’s called “symbiotic medicine”.

Give your body probiotics and antibiotics and let your body decide what it needs.

Like taking Ex-Lax and Imodium at the same time. Your gut knows what it needs, just give it the tools (meds) to choose from.
