Gastrointestinal Side-Effects of Antibiotic Therapy Since the discovery of penicillin by Fleming in 1928, antibiotics have revolutionized medicine, providing life-saving treatment for bacterial infections. They are among the most frequently prescribed medications worldwide. In the United States, each citizen, on average, receives one course of antibiotics annually. However, despite their important role in modern medicine, antibiotics are not without side-effects. Among the most common and predictable of these is a significant disruption of gastrointestinal microbiota and other mucosal microbiotas of the body. These microbial populations often include essential Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium species now understood to be critical to gastrointestinal, genitourinary, and immune system function and health. After a single course of antibiotics, it may take as long as 3 months for normal microbiota to recover.In the absence of a healthy and sufficient gut microbiome, immune functioning, hormonal signaling, bi-directional communication of the gut-brain axis, and basic motility and digestive function can suffer.  ABx Support™ Supports Healthy Microbiota During and After Antibiotic Treatment ABx Support™ is a carefully designed blend of four probiotic microorganisms to support healthy gastrointestinal microbiota during and after antibiotic use. The probiotics in this blend are regarded as some of the most beneficial strains to promote gut health. Research suggests that probiotics support gut microecology during and after antibiotic treatment through competition for nutrients, inhibition of adherence of pathogens, and the introduction of lower colonic pH favoring the growth of nonpathogenic species among other mechanisms.
