Antibiotics and probiotics

Should these be taken in conjunction with each other? That was not a question I had ever considered until yesterday. Would the two counteract each other, the probiotics undermining or cancelling out the antibiotics?
Google is in trouble again in the news this morning – exerting undue influence or pressure or some such, as well as AI errors, but, nonetheless, I consulted it. It transpires that probiotics can help to rebalance the disruption sometimes caused by antibiotics.
That’s a relief. I didn’t want to be responsible for antibiotics and probiotics fighting for ascendancy and making matters worse.
