Can you take probiotics with antibiotics?

No; in fact, as may be inferred from the prefixes, they are opposites. Antibiotics are chemical compounds that are used to kill microorganisms, whereas probiotics are "friendly" microorganisms introduced into the body to out-compete "bad" microorganisms. They are typically given in concert with antibiotics to prevent the body's healthy complement of gut flora (the bacteria and other microbes in your digestive tract) from being eradicated by the antibiotics, which were administered to kill off some harmful beasties but can also kill the ones that belong in your body. No. Antibotics are medications that kill bacteria. probiotics ar the GOOD bacteria that you want in your (mostly intestinal) system.

Why do people use probiotic?

Probiotics help to maintain the numbers of 'healthy' bacteria in the colon (large intestine); these bacteria are necessary for the final stage of digestion of starchy foods, and they also produce some vitamins. The bacteria can be destroyed by antibiotics, or the numbers can get too low as the result of an unhealthy diet, and probiotics are a good way of making sure you have enough of them.
