Food supplement suitable for adults and children, from 4 years onwards, with the following recommendations:

• Take 1 capsule daily with food, preferably with breakfast, every day during your antibiotic course and for a few days afterwards or until the pack has been completed.
• Can be taken at the same time as antibiotics – strains in this product have been clinically trialled alongside antibiotics and found to reach the gut alive.
• Drink plenty of water with your course of live cultures.
• For anyone unable to swallow capsules, open and mix contents of the capsule with a cool meal or beverage.

Storage instructions

• Store in a cool, dry place below 25°C and out of direct sunlight.

Safety

Live cultures are not recommended for those with serious medical conditions e.g. those who are severely immunosuppressed, have pancreatitis, are in the ICU, have melaena, have a central venous catheter, infants with short bowel syndrome, or patients with open wounds following major surgery; unless under a doctor’s care. Keep out of reach of children.

Gut health supplements are not intended to prevent, treat or diagnose any medical conditions. If taking probiotic supplements for gut health, note that these should not be used as a substitute for a varied and balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle. If you are taking any medications or have a serious medical condition, consult a doctor before use. Optibac supplements will not cause dependency and may be used on an ongoing basis.

Following the taxonomic updates advised by a global team of scientists and published in April 2020, a reclassification has been proposed for the L. rhamnosus species. The L. rhamnosus strain in For Those On Antibiotics may therefore now also be known as Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus Rosell-11.
