Detailed Answer:
Hello and Welcome

I appreciate your concern

I would advise against using enterogermina probiotics for such an extended length of time.

With the ATT (Anti Tuberculosis Treatment), B 6 supplementation is required to prevent peripheral neuropathy associated with INH.

It can be used for 2 to 3 weeks especially for diarrhea associated with antibiotics use or in general. They should be taken with a gap of two hours between the antibiotic.


Wishing you best of health

Thanks
