  • Regularly monitor your liver enzymes while taking SPARX 200MG TABLET.
  • If taking an antacid containing aluminum and magnesium maintain a gap of 2-3 hours after taking SPARX 200MG TABLET.

Diet & Lifestyle Advise

  • Do not drink or eat a lot of caffeine-containing products such as coffee, tea, energy drinks, cola or chocolate. SPARX 200MG TABLET may increase nervousness, sleeplessness and anxiety caused by caffeine.
  • Probiotics should be taken after taking the full course of SPARX 200MG TABLET to restore some healthy bacteria in the intestines that may have been killed. Taking probiotics after antibiotic treatment can reduce the risk of antibiotic-associated diarrhoea. Certain fermented foods like yoghurt, cheese, sauerkraut, kombucha and kimchi can help restore the intestine's good bacteria. 
  • Include more fibre-enriched food in your diet, as it can be easily digested by gut bacteria, which helps stimulate their growth. Thus, fibre-rich foods may help restore healthy gut bacteria after a course of antibiotics. Whole grains like whole-grain bread and brown rice should be included in your diet. Make sure you drink plenty of water or other fluids daily while taking SPARX 200MG TABLET.
  • Avoid alcoholic beverages with SPARX 200MG TABLET as they can make you dehydrated and may affect your sleep. This can make it harder for your body to aid the SPARX 200MG TABLET in fighting off infections.
