Summary
In the story of modern medicine, antibiotics play the role of both hero and villain. They are often prescribed to clear up respiratory, abdominal, vaginal, pelvic, ear, sinus, and throat infections. But as with any medication, they can come with unwanted side effects. However, not all antibiotics are created equal. Some antibiotics offer more benefits and fewer risks, and vice versa. To know which these are and why it’s a must to take probiotics with them, watch our video.

| 0:44.5 | Hi everyone. This is Dr. Mike Roo, I just want to make a quick preface that the audio that you're about to listen to is actually the audio compendium to a video which has appeared |
| 0:56.3 | both on our YouTube channel and on our Instagram page. For your convenience, we want to always |
| 1:03.0 | release the audio version of a video here on the podcast. However, it'll be evident in some |
| 1:09.9 | videos more so than others that the visual aids may be heavily referenced and leaned on. |
