Diet & Lifestyle Advise

  • After taking the full course of Moxniv 250 Capsule, probiotics should be taken to restore some of the healthy bacteria in the intestine 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 and kimchi can restore the intestine's good bacteria stink.
  • Include more fibre-enriched food in your diet, as it can be easily digested by gut bacteria, which helps stimulate their growth. Thus fibre foods may help restore healthy gut bacteria after taking a course of antibiotics. Whole grains like whole-grain bread, and brown rice, should be included in your diet.
  • Avoid taking too many calcium-enriched foods and drinks as it might affect the working of Moxniv 250 Capsule.
  • Avoid intake of alcoholic beverages with Moxniv 250 Capsule as it can make you dehydrated and affect your sleep. This can make it harder for your body to aid the Moxniv 250 Capsule in fighting off infections.
