Constipation due to antibiotics
Hi, I have been advised to take Augmentin duos 3 times a day with a pan d in an empty stomach for a dental infection. However, the last time I took this course, it resulted in severe constipation afterwards for 5-6 days. I want to avoid this thing again. Kindly advice if I should take bifilac or any other probiotic and in what dosage. It would be of great help. Thanks.
