See the full Caffeine page and Probiotics page for other reviewed interactions and reference information.

What the interaction means

NCCIH's probiotics page's only medication-related discussion anywhere is research on reducing antibiotic-associated diarrhea -- it names no other drug and does not mention caffeine. MedlinePlus's caffeine page does not mention probiotics.

No documented interaction between Caffeine and Probiotics was identified in the authoritative sources reviewed. This is not a guarantee that no interaction exists for every dose, formulation, or individual -- it means the sources checked did not document one.

Practical context

NCCIH's probiotics page and MedlinePlus's caffeine page were checked directly, full text, in both directions. Caffeine is not an antibiotic, so probiotics' one documented medication-related finding does not apply here.

What the sources say
