Summary

Antibiotics are lifesaving medicines and generally safe, yet unwanted side effects are common. While destroying illness-causing 'bad' bacteria, antibiotics can upset the protective 'good' bacteria in the body. This research will test if taking a probiotic with prescribed antibiotics will decrease the chance of having bothersome antibiotic-associated side effects.
