Diet & Lifestyle Advise

Taking probiotics after antibiotic treatment can reduce the risk of antibiotic-associated diarrhoea. Certain fermented foods like cheese, yoghurt, kombucha, sauerkraut, and kimchi can restore the good bacteria of the intestine.
  • Include fibre-rich foods, as they can be easily digested by your 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 your child drinks plenty of water or other fluids every day while using Articlor Pineapple Suspension.

Special Advise

If your child is about to undergo blood or urine tests, inform the doctor that your child is taking Articlor Pineapple Suspension as it may interfere with these tests.
