Thus, fiber foods may help restore healthy gut bacteria after a course of antibiotics. Whole grains like whole-grain bread, brown rice should be included in your diet. 
  • Eating grapefruit during antibiotics treatment can prevent the body from utilizing Acnomycin 100 Capsule properly. So, prevent intake of grapefruit or grapefruit juice with the antibiotic.
