Diet & Lifestyle Advise

  • Probiotics should be taken after completing the full course of Moxicip Infusion in order to restore the healthy bacteria in the intestines that may have been killed due to antibiotics. 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 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. 
  • Avoid taking too much calcium, iron-enriched foods and drinks as it might affect the working of Moxicip Infusion . 
  • Avoid intake of alcoholic beverages with Moxicip Infusion as it can make you dehydrated and affect your sleep. This can make it harder for your body to aid Moxicip Infusion in fighting off infections.
