The evidence in words
The interaction
Probiotics and Antibiotics — a timing interaction. Take 2+ hours from doses; continue 2 weeks after the course.
What to do
They are fine to use in the same regimen, but not at the same time. Separate the doses (typically by 2–4 hours) so one does not block the other's absorption.
About Probiotics
Probiotics are live microorganisms (specific strains of Lactobacillus, Bifidobacterium, Saccharomyces boulardii, etc.) intended to confer a health benefit. Effects are strain- and condition-specific.
The bigger picture
Supplement–drug and supplement–supplement interactions are the reason a stack should be read as a system, not a list. This platform's interactions graph maps them; the medication side always belongs with the person who prescribes it.
