Is It Ok To Take Both A General Probiotic And Acidophilius At The Same Time ?

Hi there

Is it ok to take both a general probiotic (Walgreens brand) and Acidophilius at the same time? I just added the Acidophilus due to recurring minor yeast infection symptoms. I have to take minocycline daily for my rosacea, and have been on that for almost two months.

Thank you! :)

Hello and thank you for your question. Yes it is fine to take acidophilus and another probiotic at the same. Acidophilus is just one of the normal gut bacteria that is considered to be a probiotic. Taking multiple forms of probiotic may help relieve your symptoms. Make sure that your general probiotics does not already contain acidophilus because although it will not harm you to take double doses of it, you may be wasting your money if you are taking acidophilus in two different forms. Thank you for using HCM.
