Hello 👋
I completely understand how uncomfortable this must feel. Taking 15 doses of Bandy Plus (Albendazole + Ivermectin) and multiple courses of antibiotics within 3 months can significantly disturb your gut microbiome — the healthy bacteria in your intestines.
This imbalance can lead to:
Loose motions or alternating constipation and diarrhea,
Weakness and fatigue due to poor nutrient absorption,
Anxiety and irritability — because gut bacteria directly influence brain chemicals (the gut–brain axis).
So yes, your symptoms are most likely post-antibiotic gut dysbiosis, not a new infection. However, in some people this prolonged gut sensitivity can develop into IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) if not managed early.
You’re already doing the right thing by taking probiotics — but at this stage you also need:
A targeted gut repair plan (specific probiotic strains + prebiotic fiber),
Vitamin and mineral rebalancing,
And a short course of natural gut-soothing medication.
Don’t worry — this is completely reversible once your gut flora and nutrient stores are restored.
You can message me so I can review your full history and create a customized recovery plan — including exact supplements, meal timing, and stress-lowering strategy.
Within 2–3 weeks, most patients start feeling significantly better

Hello, I am Dr. Romain Rajan, General Physician.
Your case has been allotted to me.
I understand your concern. Taking multiple antibiotic courses and medicines like Bandy Plus within a short duration can significantly disturb the gut flora and bodyâs electrolyte balance. This often causes persistent weakness, anxiety, and loose motions even weeks later a common condition known as post-antibiotic gut imbalance or sometimes IBS-like symptoms.
1. Advices
Stop taking any further deworming or antibiotic medicines without medical supervision.
Continue probiotics (such as Econorm or Vizylac DS) once or twice daily for at least 2â3 weeks continuously.
Take small, frequent meals, rich in curd, banana, rice, and soups. Avoid spicy food, coffee, and processed items temporarily.
2. What to Monitor
Frequency of loose motions and your appetite pattern.
Any palpitations, dizziness, or new anxiety episodes.
Weight loss or persistent fatigue beyond 2â3 weeks.
3. Management
You may take an ORS solution or Electral water daily to restore salts.
If the weakness and anxiety are significant, short-term vitamin supplementation (especially B-complex + Vitamin D) is beneficial.
The gut usually takes 2â4 weeks to completely recover after heavy antibiotic exposure â anxiety often settles as the gut and nutrition normalize.
4. When to Consult a Doctor Immediately
If diarrhea becomes frequent or watery.
If you feel persistent giddiness, palpitations, or panic episodes.
If you are unable to eat or drink adequately for more than 24 hours.
Every patientâs recovery timeline differs depending on body weight, hydration, and prior gut health. For complete and faster recovery, itâs best to discuss your exact medicines and dosages so that we can restore balance safely.
ð You can reach out to me directly for this case, and also connect with me in future for any medical consultation.
I am available on Practo or on WhatsApp at 85271646 seven seven for a one-on-one consultation, where youâll receive:
⢠A personalized treatment plan
⢠Safe medicine adjustments (if required)
⢠Quick follow-ups to track your recovery
Take care, wishing you good health.
Best regards,
Dr. Romain Rajan

1.First of all dont stress too much.. but one thing is that.. we should not take alcohol while using bandy plus tablets.. if u r taking kindly stop it.. and later check if anxiety still persists.. and weakness my be due to many other causes mainly it may occur due to anaemia.. so kindly report if u have tested for haemoglobin level..
2. IBS can be caused by various factors especially stress and food allergic to u and some other medication too..
It can be managed by
- lifestyle changes stress management exercise and mainly good sleep
- hydration and taking soluble fiber
- keep track of your gut habits like constipation diarrhea bloating etc
Red flag signs : 1. Weight loss
2. Blood in stools
3. Dark stools
4. Anaemia
5. Severe abdominal cramps
If u have any of these,please consult a gastro enterologist immediately
Dont worry u will be alright
