Diet & Lifestyle Advise

  • Probiotics should be taken after taking the full course of M-Cin Tablet in order to restore some of the 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 to restore the good bacteria of the intestine. 

  • Include more fibre-enriched food in your diet, as it can be easily digested by your gut bacteria, which helps stimulate their growth. Thus, fibre 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. 

  • Avoid taking too much calcium, iron-enriched foods and drinks as it might affect the working of M-Cin Tablet. 

  • Avoid intake of alcoholic beverages with M-Cin Tablet as it can make you dehydrated and affect your sleep. This can make it harder for your body to aid the M-Cin Tablet in fighting off infections.
