Q: I suffer from antibiotic related loose motions after undergoing extensive antibiotic therapy. What are the available probiotics in India? Do yeast preparations provide some cure for this? What is the duration of the treatment?

A:You should take Lactobacilli for this. Commercially it is available as Vizylac capsules (1 capsule twice a day). In addition, you may take a lot of yoghurt (Dahi). Do not take milk till you have loose motions.
