Findings In this randomized clinical trial that included 310 participants, this daily probiotic combination, compared with placebo, did not significantly reduce antibiotic administration over 1 year (mean cumulative antibiotic administration days, 12.9 vs 12.0). Meaning The findings do not support the use...
"More studies are needed in all ages, and particularly in the elderly, to see if sustained probiotic use is connected to an overall reduction inantibiotic prescriptions. If so, this could potentially have a huge impact on the use of probiotics in general medicine and consumers in general," sa...
Conclusions : The results suggest a strong benefit of probiotic administration on antibiotic-associated diarrhoea, but further data are needed.
