Bioflor Powder Sachet Oral Suspension x20

Bioflor Powder Sachet contains Saccharomyces boulardii, a probiotic yeast that helps maintain and restore the natural flora in the small and large intestines. This non-pathogenic yeast offers an effective solution for various gastrointestinal issues, promoting digestive health and supporting the immune system.

Uses

Bioflor is primarily used to:

• Treat acute diarrhea
• Prevent antibiotic-associated diarrhea
• Manage symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)
• Support treatment of Clostridium difficile infections
• Enhance overall gut health

Benefits

• Helps restore balance to intestinal flora
• Reduces duration and severity of diarrhea
• Supports immune function in the gut
• May help prevent antibiotic-associated diarrhea
• Generally well-tolerated with minimal side effects

How It Works

Saccharomyces boulardii, the active ingredient in Bioflor, works by colonizing the intestinal tract and competing with harmful microorganisms. It produces substances that inhibit the growth of pathogenic bacteria and yeasts, strengthens the intestinal barrier, and modulates the immune response in the gut. This probiotic also helps in the digestion and absorption of nutrients.

Dosage

The typical dosage of Bioflor Powder Sachet is one sachet (100mg) taken 1-2 times daily, or as directed by a healthcare provider. The powder can be mixed with water, juice, or soft food. For children, the dosage may be adjusted based on age and condition. Always follow your healthcare provider’s instructions regarding dosage and duration of use.

Side Effects

Side effects are generally rare and mild. Some people may experience gas or bloating when first starting Bioflor. In very rare cases, fungemia (presence of fungi in the blood) has been reported in severely immunocompromised patients or those with central venous catheters. If you experience any unusual symptoms, consult your healthcare provider.

Warning

While Bioflor is generally safe, it should be used with caution in immunocompromised individuals or those with central venous catheters. It should not be mixed with very hot beverages or foods as high temperatures can inactivate the probiotic. Consult a healthcare provider before use if you have a yeast allergy.

Interactions

• Antifungal medications may reduce the effectiveness of Bioflor
• Can be taken with antibiotics, but should be administered at different times

Store Bioflor sachets in a cool, dry place. Do not use after the expiration date. For best results, take consistently as directed. If symptoms of diarrhea persist or worsen, consult your healthcare provider. Bioflor is not a substitute for rehydration therapy in cases of severe diarrhea. Ensure adequate fluid intake, especially for children with diarrhea.
