Antibiotic-associated diarrhea
Infectious diarrhea (bacterial or viral)
Traveler’s diarrhea
Diarrhea in children
It also supports gut health, strengthens the immune system, and promotes faster recovery of intestinal function after illness.
Dosage:
Adults: Usually 250mg–500mg twice daily, depending on severity.
Children: Dose is adjusted by weight and doctor’s recommendation.
Best taken with water, not with very hot drinks (to avoid inactivating the yeast).
Side Effects:
Common (mild):
Gas, bloating
Constipation (rare)
Serious (rare):
Bloodstream infection (in very ill or immunocompromised patients)
