I am soon leaving for Mexico for three months to stay with a Mexican family. The doctor advised me to take Cipro. Should I also take probiotics?

Yes, taking probiotics alongside Cipro can help decrease the likelihood of developing traveler's diarrhea. It is recommended to take probiotics daily, unlike Cipro which is only taken when symptoms of diarrhea occur. Look for probiotics labeled specifically for travel and containing a high amount of bacteria for best results.
