Hello
Thanks for writing to us for your health concern.
In fact it is recommended to be taking probiotics with the Flagyl.
It would help improve the gut flora, and act as gut protectives.
You can go ahead and take the probiotics concurrently for sure.
Wish you all the luck and a speedy recovery.
Take care.
