Diet & Lifestyle Advise

  • It would be best to take probiotics after taking the full course of Mega-CV 1.2 gm Injection to restore some healthy intestinal bacteria 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. Fibre 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 overeating calcium-enriched foods and drinks as it might affect the working of Mega-CV 1.2 gm Injection.
