Brief Answer:
Yes, you can take lomodium...

Detailed Answer:
Hi

Thanks for posting the query

Antibiotic induced diarrhea can be controlled either with lomodium or lactobacillus. I personally prefer to give lactobacillus to my patients when then present with similar symptoms. Lactobacillus replenishes the damaged flora in the stomach and the intestines.

Hope I have answered your query; I'll be available for the follow up queries.
