Diet & Lifestyle Advise

  • It would be best to take probiotics after completing the full course of Azon-500 Tablet to replenish 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 consuming too many calcium-enriched foods and drinks, as it may affect the functioning of Azon-500 Tablet.
  • Avoid intake of alcoholic beverages with Azon-500 Tablet as it can make you dehydrated and affect your sleep. This can make it harder for your body to aid the Azon-500 Tablet in fighting off infections.
