Diet & Lifestyle Advise

  • Avoid consuming excessive amounts of caffeine-containing foods and beverages such as coffee, tea, cola, energy drinks, and chocolate.
  • Probiotics should be taken after finishing the entire course of Acyprove 250mg Injection in order to replenish good bacteria that may have been lost in the intestines.
