Interactions with medicinesUpdated a month ago

Can there be interactions with medicines?

In principle, food supplements with bacterial cultures have virtually no interactions with other medications. Nevertheless, we would recommend that you check with your doctor before taking them. We can provide the following assessment for some medications: 

Thyroid medication / L-thyroxine: It is indeed not advisable to take thyroid medications at the same time as dietary supplements containing minerals such as iron, zinc, calcium or magnesium. We recommend leaving a gap of at least 4 hours between taking thyroid medication and dietary supplements.

Siofor (metformin): You can take the Dailybacs and also the Dietbacs without any concerns. Studies have even shown that a balanced gut microbiome has an influence on the course of type 2 diabetes. If the gut microbiome is not balanced, this has been identified as a factor in the rapid progression of insulin resistance.

Contraceptive pill: Our products can be taken together with the contraceptive pill without causing a reduction in the effectiveness of the pill. We recommend taking our products on an empty stomach with a glass of water. It is best to continue taking the pill at your usual time of day and integrate our products at another time during the day - there is no risk of a reduced positive effect, neither from the pill nor from mybacs!

You can take our dailybacs and antibiotics at the same time.
