Diet & Lifestyle Advise

  • Avoid consuming many caffeine-containing products, such as coffee, tea, energy drinks, cola, and chocolate. Zeloxa-TZ Suspension may increase nervousness, sleeplessness and anxiety caused by caffeine.
  • Probiotics should be taken after taking the full course of Zeloxa-TZ Suspension 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, such as yoghurt, cheese, sauerkraut, kombucha, 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-rich foods may help restore healthy gut bacteria after a course of antibiotics. Whole grains, such as whole-grain bread and brown rice, should be included in your diet. Make sure you drink plenty of water or other fluids daily while taking Zeloxa-TZ Suspension.
  • Avoid alcoholic consumption with Zeloxa-TZ Suspension as it can make you dehydrated and may affect your sleep. This can make it harder for your body to aid the Zeloxa-TZ Suspension in fighting off infections.
