Is it safe to mix probiotics

Hi Doctor, I am a 29 year old woman who is having frequent constipation issues, I also always feel like the release of stool is not complete. I do acknowledge this is probably due to my lack of fibre intake, and would like to try taking probiotics. On the other hand, I also get recurring UTI (not that often, about 2x or 3x a year) and I was wondering if it is safe to take 2 types of probiotics (one for digestion and bowel and the other for vaginal and urinary tract health)?

Hello, thank you for your enquiry.

For your information, you may take both probiotics as per instructions from the pharmacist or on the boxes. There are no interactions between these probiotics and it is safe to take together. Please do make sure you drink sufficient amount of water as well, which is very important and beneficial for your constipation and recurrent UTI.

For more information, you may refer this problem to your doctor for further explanation and instructions. You may also contact us for an online consultation for further assistance.

Thank you, we hope our answer has been helpful.
