Diet & Lifestyle Advise

  • It would be best to take probiotics after taking the full course of Arzan 2mg Tablet to restore some healthy bacteria in the intestine that may have been killed. Taking probiotics after antibiotic treatment can reduce the risk of antibiotic-associated diarrhoea. Certain fermented foods like yoghurt, cheese, sauerkraut and kimchi can help restore the intestine's good bacteria.
  • Include more fibre-enriched food in your diet, as it can be easily digested by gut bacteria which helps stimulate their growth. Thus fibre foods may help restore healthy gut bacteria after taking a course of antibiotics. Whole grains, like whole-grain bread, and brown rice, should be included in your diet.
  • Avoid taking too much calcium-enriched foods and drinks as it might affect the working of Arzan 2mg Tablet.
  • Avoid intake of alcoholic beverages with Arzan 2mg Tablet as it can make you dehydrated and affect your sleep. This can make it harder for your body to aid the Arzan 2mg Tablet in fighting off infections.

Disease/Condition Glossary

Bacterial/Protozoal infection is a condition in which harmful bacteria/protozoa enter, multiply and infect the body. They can target any part of the body and multiply very quickly. These infections vary from minor illnesses like sore throat and ear infections to severe brain, liver & intestinal infections like meningitis, encephalitis or colitis. When you get infected with these germs, you can experience generalized symptoms, like fevers, chills and fatigue.
