INTRODUCTION

It is used to treat diarrhea, especially in kids. It is a common probiotic recommended for children. It is also used to treat diarrhea associated with antibiotics and improve your gut health. It is known to help restore the healthy “good” microbes in the intestine which aid in maintaining gut function.

It is a probiotic health supplement. Probiotics are living organisms (microbes), which are beneficial for our health when consumed in large quantities. It contains Saccharomyces boulardii CNCM I 745 (250mg) as a major ingredient. S. boulardii CNCM I745 is a probiotic drug that is the most studied probiotic in childhood diarrhea. When taken orally, these microbes reach the intestine, colonize the gut lining and suppress the growth of harmful pathogens. This helps our gut to maintain a healthy balance of good microbes.

A healthy child’s body consists of good and bad microbes, good microbes like probiotics play an essential role in digestive, metabolic, and immune function. Most gastrointestinal diseases are a result of an imbalance of good and bad microbes which become the cause of upset tummy in many children as they get easily infected by bacteria and viruses. This in turn can lead to a frequent urge to pass watery stools, dehydration weakness, nausea, and vomiting.

It usually does not cause any side effects when taken as recommended by your doctor. However, in case you experience any symptoms or side effects, then it is wise to get in touch with your doctor.
