Customer Testimonials
“I used these whilst taking antibiotics, I usually get thrush when I take an antibiotic but because I took For those on antibiotics as well, I did not get thrush this time. Can I also say Annie who answered my call when I phoned was very helpful and friendly and told me where I could get For those on antibiotics.” - Janice, Northern Ireland
“I used For those on antibiotics whilst taking an antibiotic. I found I had none of the side effects associated with taking antibiotics, which I was delighted with!” - Kathy, County Wicklow, Ireland
“I felt that OptiBac Probiotics For those on antibiotics have served to assist my recovery from antibiotic treatment (amoxicillin) and the post viral malaise that I experienced from the bronchial infection and the pleurisy that went with it. I certainly feel more confident with your product in as much as it is not delivered with a sugary yoghurt, and also being in capsules form, I assume will not be destroyed by stomach acid before it can get to the parts where it is needed.” – Richard, Bristol
Recent research on probiotics and antibiotics
Probiotics prevent antibiotic-associated diarrhoea - November 2008 - A study published in the American Family Physician and carried out at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine found that probiotics were effective in avoiding diarrhoea caused by antibiotics and also diarrhoea caused by gastrointestinal viral or bacterial infections. After reviewing 7 high-quality studies, this report stated that up to 1 in 5 people on antibiotics stop taking their full course of antibiotic therapy because they contract diarrhoea. Dr Benjamin Kligler, medical professor at Einstein, assured that probiotics should be prescribed with antibiotics, regretting that “the average doctor is not doing this, and patients often know more about probiotics than their physicians.”
