are probiotics prescribed
Physicians should prescribe probiotics to patients given antibiotics in order to prevent diarrhea and thus increase the likelihood that patients complete their course of therapy, say researchers.s well as killing bacteria responsible for illness antibiotics also destroy the so-called âgoodâ bacteria that live in the gut, and this causes diarrhea. This unpleasant side effect results in as many as one in five people failing to complete their prescribed course of antibiotic therapy.
