Special Advise

  • If you are about to undergo any urine tests, inform your doctor or lab technician that you are on treatment with Sulbitor 3gm Injection as it may interfere with these tests giving false positive results.

Diet & Lifestyle Advise

  • Take probiotics after completing the full course of Sulbitor 3gm Injection to restore some healthy bacteria in the intestines that may have been killed. Taking probiotics after antibiotic treatment can reduce the risk of antibiotic-associated diarrhoea. Certain fermented foods like cheese, yoghurt, kombucha, sauerkraut, and kimchi can help restore the intestine's good bacteria.
  • Include fibre-rich foods, as they can be easily digested by your gut bacteria, which helps stimulate their growth. Thus, fibre-rich foods may help restore healthy gut bacteria after a course of antibiotics. Whole grains such as whole-grain bread and brown rice should be included in your diet.
  • Make sure you drink plenty of water or other fluids daily while you are receiving Sulbitor 3gm Injection.
  • Avoid alcohol consumption as it may increase adverse effects.
