6 weeks of antibiotics - will probiotics help?

I've just started 3 courses of antibiotics back to back for 6 weeks, 4 days in I'm alredy feeling the effects on my stomach with indigestion. Does anybody have any advice on whether taking probiotic high strength tablets will be ok now or if I should wait until the Antibis are finished? - Thanks

Wait until the antibiotics have finished, otherwise there isn't much point taking them.

But go talk to a pharmacist you might be able to take them with food or something to lessen the effects.

Sashh - thanks yes the info leaflet says take with food if causing pain so I will do that and start probiotics when the course is done
