ANTIBIOTICS

Diet & Lifestyle Advise

Give probiotics after completing the full course to restore some healthy bacteria in the intestines that may have been killed. Probiotics after antibiotic treatment can reduce the risk of antibiotic-associated diarrhoea. Certain fermented foods like cheese, yoghurt, kombucha, sauerkraut, and kimchi can help to restore the good bacteria of the intestine.
Include fibre-rich foods, as they 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.
Make sure your child drinks plenty of water or other fluids every day.

Habit Forming

What if I have taken an overdose of COLISTOP SUSPENSION

Do not take more than the prescribed dose. Using more medication will not improve symptoms; rather they may cause poisoning or serious side-effects such as numbness and tingling, extreme tiredness, confusion, dizziness, loss of balance and coordination, rapid, uncontrolled eye movements, difficulty speaking, slow, shallow, or difficult breathing, and decreased urination. If you suspect that you or anyone else who may have overdosed of COLISTOP SUSPENSION, please go to the emergency department of the closest hospital.
