Re: is it ok to mix Duricef and probiotic and give together?

[Guest guest]

Hello. Can't remember who told me this, but probiotics should be

given when the antibiotics are at their weakest. For example. If

antibiotics are given 3x/day (every 8 hrs) then probiotics would be

given about 2 hrs. before the next dose of antibiotics. I hope I came

across clear on that. Also, our Ped. told us that when it says

3x/day, that means every 8 hrs, because antibiotics work best when

the level in the body is kept at a constant as compared to taking it

8am, 12n and 4 pm. Good luck. TinaB
