Diet & Lifestyle Advise

  • Avoid consuming excessive amounts of caffeine-containing foods and beverages such as coffee, tea, cola, energy drinks, and chocolate.
  • Probiotics should be taken after finishing the entire course of Acucip 0.2% Injection in order to replenish good bacteria that may have been lost in the intestines. The risk of antibiotic-associated diarrhoea can be decreased by taking probiotics after receiving antibiotic treatment. Some fermented foods, including yoghurt, cheese, sauerkraut, and kimchi, can help rebuild the beneficial bacteria in the intestine. 
  • Increase your intake of fibre-rich foods since they are simpler for gut bacteria to digest, which encourages their growth.

  • Avoid drinking alcohol since it may cause dehydration and interfere with your sleep, which makes it difficult for your body to help Acucip 0.2% Injection fight infections.
