The most reliable answer comes from your pharmacist or healthcare professional, who can advise based on your specific antibiotic and health situation. When evaluating any probiotic, look for named strains with registered strain codes, a CFU count guaranteed until the best before or expiry date, and clinical research behind the formulation. Bio-K+ probiotic products feature three exclusive proprietary strains validated in 16 published clinical trials. Speak with your pharmacist about whether they fit your antibiotic course.

Whether Antibio Pro is appropriate for your situation depends on your specific antibiotic, your health circumstances, and your healthcare professional's or pharmacist's advice. That conversation is the most important first step. Antibio Pro is a Health Canada-approved NHP product with verbatim approved claims for AAD and CDAD reduction. It contains 50 billion CFU in a 15-capsule format and is available only in Canada. Consult your pharmacist before starting Antibio Pro during an antibiotic course.

Whether any Bio-K+ probiotic product is appropriate to use during your specific antibiotic course is a question to bring to your healthcare professional or pharmacist. Bio-K+ probiotic capsules and drinkables are formulated for daily use and backed by more than 30 years of scientific research and 16 published clinical trials. Your pharmacist can advise on timing and suitability based on your specific antibiotic and health situation, so bring your questions to that conversation before you begin.

Bio-K+ Antibio Pro is the only Bio-K+ product with Health Canada-approved claims specifically related to antibiotic-associated diarrhea. Its verbatim approved claim is: "Helps to reduce the risk of developing antibiotic-associated diarrhea (AAD)." Antibio Pro also holds the verbatim approved claim: "Helps reduce the risk of developing C. difficile-associated diarrhea (CDAD) in hospitalized patients." Both claims apply exclusively to Antibio Pro. Consult your pharmacist before starting it during an antibiotic course.

Yes. Bio-K+ guarantees the live bacteria count in its probiotic capsules until the best before or expiry date, not at the time of manufacture. This is a meaningful quality distinction, because potency guaranteed until the best before or expiry date means you can rely on the stated CFU count throughout the product's shelf life. Bio-K+ capsules are shelf-stable and do not require refrigeration, which makes them practical for daily use.
