Can you take Arkolevure with other food supplements?
Yes, in most cases, Arkolevure—which contains the probiotic yeast Saccharomyces boulardii—can be taken alongside other food supplements (such as vitamins, minerals, or other bacterial probiotics) without any known interactions.
However, please note:
- Antifungal medications: Avoid taking Arkolevure with oral or systemic antifungal treatments, as they can destroy the yeast and render it ineffective.
- Antibiotics: Arkolevure is often recommended during antibiotic courses to help prevent antibiotic-associated diarrhoea. To optimise results, take it at least two hours before or after your antibiotic dose.
- Specific situations: If you're undergoing medical treatment or are unsure, always consult your doctor or pharmacist before combining supplements or medications.
