How Does Antibiotics Work?
Your doctor might prescribe antibiotics when you are suffering from a bacterial infection. The purpose is to destroy and eliminate bacteria that cause these problems. Nevertheless, antibiotics cannot differentiate between healthy and harmful bacteria. This leads to the removal of many microbes and gut bacteria, which causes an imbalance. Studies have shown a link between overuse of antibiotics and diseases like depression, diabetes, inflammatory bowel disease, and obesity. Some of these side effects can be alleviated by taking probiotics at the same time. [2]
