How It Works

Saccharomyces boulardii is a beneficial yeast that colonizes the intestinal tract temporarily. It produces enzymes that break down toxins, stimulates immune responses, and prevents harmful bacteria from adhering to intestinal walls. Unlike bacterial probiotics, it resists destruction by antibiotics and gastric acid.

Dosage

Mix powder with cool water, juice, or soft food. Take between meals for optimal effectiveness. Continue for 2-3 days after symptoms resolve.

Duration of Action

Bioflor begins working within 24-48 hours of first dose. The probiotic yeast establishes itself in the intestinal tract within 2-3 days. Maximum benefits typically occur after 3-5 days of consistent use. Effects may persist for several days after discontinuation.

Side Effects

Bioflor is generally well-tolerated with minimal side effects. Some patients may experience mild bloating, gas, or constipation initially. Rarely, patients with compromised immune systems may develop systemic yeast infections. Most side effects resolve as the intestinal flora adjusts.

Warning

Do not use in patients with central venous catheters or severe immunocompromised conditions due to risk of fungemia. Bioflor is not suitable for patients with yeast allergies. Consult healthcare provider if diarrhea persists beyond 3 days or is accompanied by high fever or blood in stool.

Pregnancy and Breastfeeding

Bioflor is considered safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding as Saccharomyces boulardii does not cross the placenta or enter breast milk significantly. However, consult healthcare provider before use, especially during first trimester or if experiencing severe symptoms.

Interaction

• Generally safe to use with antibiotics
• May reduce absorption of some antifungal medications
• No significant interactions with most medications
• Can be taken alongside other probiotics
• May enhance effectiveness when combined with zinc supplements

Precaution

Store sachets in cool, dry place below 25°C. Do not mix with hot liquids as heat destroys the live yeast. Patients with severe acute pancreatitis should avoid use. Use with caution in immunocompromised patients. Complete full course even if symptoms improve.

Important Information

Bioflor contains live yeast organisms that require proper storage to maintain viability. Do not exceed recommended dosage. This probiotic supplement works best when taken consistently as directed. Maintain adequate fluid intake during diarrheal episodes. Consult healthcare provider if symptoms worsen or new symptoms develop during treatment.,
