Diarrhea after antibiotics. Treatment with probiotics

Diarrhea after antibiotics is the most common side effect of drug therapy. The fact is that antibiotics do not have selectivity and destroy both pathogenic and beneficial bacteria. As a result, the natural microflora of the intestine is disrupted, dysbiosis develops, which manifests itself in the form of diarrhea or constipation, nausea and unpleasant sensations in the abdomen.

It normalizes the composition of the microflora and returns the normal value of acidity in the digestive tract, stimulates the regeneration of the epithelium of the intestinal wall, accelerates the excretion of salmonella from the body and strengthens its protective functions. Due to the mechanism of action, the drug regains the normal state of the intestine in conditions such as diarrhea after antibiotics, stomach surgery, irradiation, climate change, water and nutrition.
