I read that I can take 200 mg 3 times daily for 6 weeks of oregano oil for stomach bacteria.
What is you opinion?
I just read the replied by Doctor Chaithanya.
I am confuse about the question that i asked last night.
Firsts I read that was ok to take antibiotics and oregano oil.
This morning I read that advice is not valid.
Does it mean that I can not take antibiotics and oregano oil.?
I am a little confused.

Hi,
There is no proven research about interactions
You can start at 50mg and see the response for 2 weeks. If it is good you can use for another 2 weeks.

Probiotics are good if taken for a month.Thanks
