Yes, your pet can continue taking other medications. Pets respond best to the capsules when they are the most medically stable, so continuing whatever medication regimen has been most effective at controlling their symptoms is best. The FMT capsules work well alongside most other medications. There are two exceptions to this: antibiotics and bacterial probiotics.
If your pet is on a short course of antibiotics, we recommend completing the antibiotics and giving the first fecal transplant capsule at least 24 hours after the last antibiotic dose. If your pet is on long-term antibiotics, we recommend giving the fecal transplant capsules as far apart from the antibiotic dose as possible. For example, many pet owners give the antibiotics in the morning and the fecal transplant capsules in the evening.
Bacterial probiotics should be temporarily discontinued, as the bacteria in probiotics take up resources that should be reserved for the dog- or cat-specific bacteria in our capsules.
