A growing body of research is shedding light on whether people should take probiotics when they are prescribed antibiotics. For most healthy individuals, the answers are nuanced: certain probiotics can help reduce antibiotic-associated diarrhoea and other side effects, but results depend on the strain, timing, product quality, and the person’s health. In Thailand’s busy families, the evidence points to targeted use, careful product choices, and clinical guidance rather than routine supplementation.
