Diet & Lifestyle Advise

  • Avoid consuming excessive amounts of caffeine-containing foods and beverages such as coffee, tea, cola, energy drinks, and chocolate.
  • Probiotics should be taken after finishing the entire course of OMNATAX 500MG INJECTION to replenish good bacteria. The risk of antibiotic-associated diarrhoea can be decreased by taking probiotics after receiving antibiotic treatment. Some fermented foods, including yoghurt, cheese, sauerkraut, and kimchi, can help rebuild the beneficial bacteria in the intestine.

  • While taking OMNATAX 500MG INJECTION, make sure to drink lots of water or other fluids.
  • Avoid drinking alcohol since it may cause dehydration and interfere with your sleep, which makes it difficult for your body to help OMNATAX 500MG INJECTION fight infections.
