Bioflor 100mg Sachet (Probiotic)
Bioflor 100mg is a powerful probiotic treatment containing Saccharomyces boulardii, a beneficial yeast that helps restore and maintain your gut health. Unlike many other probiotics, Bioflor is resistant to antibiotics, making it an excellent choice for preventing diarrhea while you are on antibiotic medication.
What is Bioflor Used For?
Bioflor is primarily used to treat and prevent various types of diarrhea. It works by balancing the "good" and "bad" bacteria in your digestive system. In Nigeria, it is commonly recommended for:
- Acute Diarrhea: For fast relief from stomach upset caused by infections.
- Antibiotic-Associated Diarrhea: To prevent stooling that often happens when taking strong antibiotics.
- Traveler's Diarrhea: Protection against stomach issues when eating unfamiliar food or water.
- Gut Health: Managing symptoms of Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) and supporting overall digestion.
Dosage: How to Take Bioflor 100mg Sachet
For adults and children, the standard dosage is usually 2 to 4 sachets daily, divided into separate doses.
- Prepare: Open the sachet and pour the powder into a glass.
- Mix: Add water, juice, or milk. Do not use very hot liquids (above 50°C) as heat can kill the live yeast.
- Drink: Stir and drink the mixture immediately.
If you are unsure about the right dose for your child or baby, please contact a GoMed pharmacist for guidance.
Why Choose Bioflor?
Bioflor 100mg is a trusted brand manufactured by Biocodex. It is NAFDAC registered and proven to be effective for both adults and kids. Because it is a yeast-based probiotic, it stays active in your gut even if you are taking antibiotics at the same time.
Precautions and Side Effects
Bioflor is generally very safe. Some people may experience mild bloating or gas as their gut adjusts. However, it should not be used by individuals with a central venous catheter or those who are severely immunocompromised.
