Diet & Lifestyle Advise

Taking probiotics after antibiotic treatment can reduce the risk of antibiotic-associated diarrhoea. Certain fermented foods like yoghurt, cheese, sauerkraut, kombucha and kimchi can help to restore the good bacteria of the intestine. 
  • Include more fibre-enriched food in your diet, as it can be easily digested by your gut bacteria, which helps stimulate their growth. Thus, fibre foods may help restore healthy gut bacteria after a course of antibiotics. Whole grains like whole-grain bread and brown rice should be included in your diet.

  • Avoid intake of alcoholic beverages with Moxif 400 Tablet 5's as it can make you dehydrated and affect your sleep. This can make it harder for your body to aid the Moxif 400 Tablet 5's in fighting off infections.
