When is the best time to start taking probiotics to replenish the good bacteria?

Question

I recently have been prescribed antibiotics for acne and was wondering if taking probiotics now would be pointless because the antibiotics will kill all the bacteria.I know I need this good bacteria, but should I wait and save my money for after I'm off the antibiotics?

Answer 1

Wait.  They would just suffer the same fate as your last normal flora.

Answer 2

My doctor had me start the probiotics after I completed the course of antibiotics and prednisone I was taking.  This was due to me getting thrush from not having enough good bacteria.  The kind I took was called Culturelle.
