Diet & Lifestyle Advise

  • It would be best to take probiotics after completing the full course of Doxyaeq Injection to restore healthy bacteria in the intestine that may have been killed due to the usage of antibiotics. Taking probiotics after antibiotic treatment can reduce the risk of antibiotic-associated diarrhoea. Certain fermented foods like yogurt, 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. 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 Doxyaeq Injection.
  • Avoid intake of alcoholic beverages with Doxyaeq Injection as it can make you dehydrated and affect your sleep. This can make it harder for your body to aid Doxyaeq Injection in fighting off infections.
