After taking an antibiotic, you may need to wait up to three hours before eating or drinking dairy products, including milk, butter, yoghurt, and cheese. Grapefruit juice and dietary supplements containing minerals like calcium may also affect the working of antibiotics.

Inform your doctor if your symptoms are not relieved even after finishing the full course of treatment. If the symptoms worsen while using this medicine, seek immediate medical help.

Usually, Douxper 1000mg Injection starts working soon after taking it. However, it may take a few days to kill all the harmful bacteria and make you feel better. Please consult your doctor for more information.

Diet & Lifestyle Advise

  • It would be best to take probiotics after taking the full course of Douxper 1000mg Injection to restore some 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 help restore the intestine's good bacteria.
  • Include more fibre-enriched food in your diet, as it can be easily digested by gut bacteria, which helps stimulate their growth.
