how do I take VOWST?

VOWST is taken orally at home after antibiotics in a 2-step dosing routine

ANTI-
BIOTICS

Step 1:

Finish a full course of ANTIBIOTICS

Within 1 to 3 days of finishing the antibiotic, drink a one-dose 10 ounce laxative (magnesium citrate).

This is much less volume of laxative than that used for a colonoscopy, which can be 128 ounces
Tell your doctor if you have kidney disease because you may not be able to take the magnesium citrate laxative

3 DAYS

Step 2:

Take 4 capsules of VOWST orally once a day for 3 days

Do not eat or drink for at least 8 hours before your first dose of VOWST
- For example, you can take the laxative in the evening at least 8 hours prior to the first dose of VOWST and fast overnight
Take VOWST before your first meal, on an empty stomach
Swallow each capsule whole. DO NOT crush, chew, or break the capsules
Do not take VOWST at the same time as antibiotics or the laxative

Contact your doctor if you have additional questions about how to take VOWST.

Using a laxative is important because it helps clear out leftover
antibiotics from your gut so that VOWST can work properly
