Description
Optibac Probiotics for Those On Antibiotics is a live cultures food supplement in capsule form, sold here as a pack of 10 capsules. Each capsule contains 4.5 billion live bacterial cultures from three named strains, and Optibac designed it to be taken at the same time as an antibiotic. That means you can take your capsule with your usual breakfast and antibiotic dose, without spacing them apart.
Key Features
- Taken at the same time as antibiotics: Optibac states that its three strains can be taken together with antibiotic medication, unlike its other probiotics, which are best taken 2 hours apart.
- Three named strains: Lactobacillus rhamnosus Rosell-11, Lactobacillus acidophilus/helveticus Rosell-52 and Bifidobacterium lactis Lafti B94.
- 4.5 billion live cultures per capsule: One capsule a day provides this amount.
- Suitable from age 4: Optibac states the same capsule can be used by adults and children aged 4 years and over.
- Vegetable capsule: The capsule shell is made from hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, a plant-based material.
Do I need to leave a gap between this probiotic and my antibiotic?
No. Optibac states that these three strains can be taken at exactly the same time as antibiotic medication. This is different from some of its other probiotics, such as Every Day EXTRA, which must be taken 2 hours away from an antibiotic.
How long should I keep taking it?
Take one capsule daily for the whole antibiotic course and, ideally, for several days after it finishes. Optibac suggests adding a second pack if your antibiotic course lasts longer than a week, as one pack provides 10 days of capsules.
Can children take Optibac For Those On Antibiotics?
Optibac states that children aged 4 years and over can take the same capsule and do not need to take it at a different time from their antibiotic. It is not stated as suitable for children under 4.
