Are antibiotics ok to take?

I have had bronchitis for a few weeks now and finally made it to the doctor yesterday and she prescribed me antibiotics and an inhaler. I'm not sure if this is something we aren't supposed to take or if I can take it with all my other supplements. Any feedback would help, or anyone post-op that has had to take them please let me know. I just want to start feeling better without taking any risks! Please help!

Antibiotics are fine to take if you need them. During surgery a culture of my stomach revealed I had Heliobactor Pilori (the bacteria that causes ulcers) so my surgeon prescribed for me a Prev-Pac which is a combination of 3 or 4 different antibiotics. I am only 21 days out of surgery.

I have taken both with no problem.

I was actually given liquid antibiotics to take home with me right after surgery, it was only 3 days worth, but i was fine, no problem with stomach cramps or anything else and i am only 6 days post -op...feel better soon!

I've had to take antibiotics, and I made sure I took them with yogurt and took extra Probiotics to help prevent "sterile gut". I still get nauseated when on certain antibiotics, but not as bad as early out.

As for the inhaler, I have a nebulizer, and have used it on occasion without issue over the last year for my allergy induced asthma symptoms.

My best advice is to talk to your pharmacist. Tell him/her exactly what and when you take it to make sure they won't interfere with each other.
