Diet & Lifestyle Advise

  • Probiotics should be taken after taking the full course of Vepazil 250 Tablet 6's to restore some 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 restore the intestine's good bacteria.
  • Include more fibre-enriched food in your diet. Fibre-rich foods can be easily digested by gut bacteria, which helps stimulate their growth. Thus, fibre-rich 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 alcoholic beverages with Vepazil 250 Tablet 6's as they can make you dehydrated and may affect your sleep. This can make it harder for your body to aid the Vepazil 250 Tablet 6's in fighting off infections.
