Diet & Lifestyle Advise

  • Probiotics should be taken after taking the full course of Floxsafe 400 mg Tablet 10's in order to restore some of the healthy bacteria in the intestines that may have been killed.

  • Include more fibre-enriched food in your diet, as it can be easily digested by your gut bacteria, which helps stimulate their growth.
