Hello ,
Alprim is an antibiotic.
Taking it for long time along with killing the micro organisms in the urinary tract , they also destroy good microbial flora in the intestine , causing loose stools . This is a protective coverage which prevents any bad organism to colonise in the intestine , .
Hence prebiotic supplements are recommended when you take aren't idiotic for long .
Yogurt is a very good natural source .
Sporolac/ econorm are commercially available sachets containing probit in . They should be taken 3 times daily for treatment and once daily for prevention .
