About Rovamycin Forte Tablet

It helps to lower the risk of transmission of toxoplasma infection from the mother to the unborn child. A bacterial infection is a condition in which bacteria grows in the body and causes infection. It can target any body part and multiple very quickly. Toxoplasmosis infection can cause complications such as miscarriage, stillbirth, and damage to a baby’s brain and other organs, particularly the eyes, at birth or early childhood, or even as adults with a weak immune system.

Diet & Lifestyle Advise

  • Probiotics should be taken after taking a full course of Rovamycin Forte Tablet in order to restore some of the healthy bacteria in the intestines 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, 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 gut bacteria, which helps stimulate their growth. Thus, fibre foods may help restore healthy gut bacteria after antibiotics. Whole grains like whole-grain bread and brown rice should be included in your diet. 

  • Avoid taking too much calcium, iron-enriched foods, and drinks as it might affect the working of Rovamycin Forte Tablet . 

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