Acidophilus-bacillus Coagulans

Drug Details

Probiotics are supplements containing beneficial microorganisms like yeast (Saccharomyces boulardii) and bacteria (such as Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium), which are naturally present in the stomach, intestines, and vagina. These microorganisms help maintain a healthy balance of flora, which can be disrupted by factors like antibiotic use or travel. By restoring this balance, probiotics aid digestion and can help with conditions such as diarrhea, irritable bowel syndrome, eczema, vaginal yeast infections, lactose intolerance, and urinary tract infections. Probiotics can be found in foods such as yogurt, milk, juices, and soy beverages, or taken as dietary supplements in forms like capsules, tablets, and powders. It's important to read the product label to understand its specific uses. Be aware that some dietary supplements might contain harmful impurities or additives; consult your pharmacist for advice on your chosen brand. Note that the FDA has not evaluated these products for safety or effectiveness, so it's recommended to discuss their use with your healthcare provider.
