A penicillin-type antibiotic, Amoxycillin 500 MG Capsule is used to treat bacterial infections. Different forms of bacterial infections of the throat, lungs, ears, nose, urinary tract, and skin are treated with this antibiotic. Amoxycillin 500 MG Capsule is also used in combination with other medications to destroy the bacteria that causes stomach ulcers, helicobacter pylori. It halts the infection-causing bacteria’s growth. It is ineffective against viruses-caused illnesses.

Is it good to combine amoxicillin and probiotics?

While taking a probiotic while on amoxicillin is unlikely to harm you, your probiotics may be less effective – most likely because they aren’t powerful enough to withstand an antibiotic attack.

When should you start taking probiotics after taking amoxicillin?

This is partially determined by the antibiotic’s dosage recommendations. It’s common to be told to take antibiotics three times a day, at six-hour intervals (for example at 8 am, 2 pm, and once more at 8 pm). In this instance, the best course of action is to take probiotics three hours after taking amoxicillin (at 11 a.m., 5 p.m., and 11 p.m.). This allows the probiotic to work uninterrupted – as far away from each dose of the antibiotic as possible.

Allowing a window when taking probiotics with antibiotics is useful not only because it maximizes the former’s functionality, but also because it allows the latter to focus on the bacteria it needs to kill without being distracted. If the time between dosages is less than six hours, the window for probiotic doses should be narrowed as well. Halfway between antibiotic doses is the best time to take lactobacillus.
