Bioflor 100mg Sachet (Probiotic)
Bioflor 100mg is a clinically proven probiotic pharmaceutical containing the medicinal yeast Saccharomyces boulardii CNCM I-745. Unlike many bacterial probiotics, Bioflor is a yeast-based treatment, making it naturally resistant to antibiotics. This ensures it continues to work even if you are taking a course of antibiotics for an infection.
