When using an antibiotic, it is recommended to take single-strain probiotics, which reduce the risk of intestinal microbiota disruption and the appearance of digestive system ailments, including antibiotic-associated diarrhea. The best tested in this indication are the Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG strain (ATCC 53103), often called Lactobacillus GG or LGG, and the yeast Saccharomyces boulardii - found in Enterol. Metronidazole is not an antibiotic, but it has antibacterial and antiprotozoal properties. Due to its antibacterial effect, it is worth introducing a probiotic into the therapy.
Enterol and Dicoflor Ibsium are single-strain probiotics containing yeasts and in my opinion both should work well during metronidazole therapy. The dosage of both preparations is the same, the manufacturers recommend taking 1-2 capsules a day. You can take one capsule a day. What is worth knowing is that in the case of yeast probiotics, there is no need to take a time break from the antibiotic/antibacterial drug, they do not interact with it.
