It's "friendly" bacteria for your gut. Helps keep things regulated and your body in balance. It also goes after bad bacteria, too. Like little Pacmen in your body!

You can find most of it in yogurt or you can buy tablets.

Acidophilus?

ive never heard of it.
and thank you for the reasurance :)

Yes it's ok to take both at the same time.

What you're going to have to start taking after the antibiotics are done, is some Acidophilus. The antibiotics not only wipe out the bad bacteria in your body, it takes out the good stuff too. Acidophilus  will help you get the good stuff back!

250mg 2x a day is a normal doseage for an antibiotic.

You'll be fine :)
