Recommendations: Take one capsule twice daily with meals for
14 days through the course of the antibiotic therapy or as directed by a physician. Take either 1 hour before or 2 hours following an antibiotic doe. Capsules may be pulled apart and contents taken in a coop or tepid beverage. Avoid use in conjunction with hot beverages.
Form: 28 Capsules per Bottle This probiotic supplement is a novel blend of four probiotic microorganisms each documented to support the normal gastrointestinal flora during antibiotic therapy. A potent combination of Saccharomyces boulardii,
Lactobacillus rhamnosus, Bifidobacterium bifidum, and Bifidobacterium breve, this formulation is designed to
sustain and reinforce the protective intestinal microflora crucial for reducing the occurrence of gastrointestinal
symptoms associated with antibiotic-associated diarrhea and C. difficile-associated bowel disorders.
Probiotic dietary supplements contain live, “friendly” bacteria and/or yeast that support intestinal microbial
balance and beneficially influence human health. Probiotics have been shown to reduce the gastrointestinal
complications of antibiotic and immunosuppressant therapies and to help maintain a balanced gastrointestinal
microflora important for healthy gastrointestinal and immune system function.
Antibiotic-associated diarrhea (AAD) is a common consequence of antibiotic therapy, affecting up to 40% of all
people treated with antibiotics. A recent meta-analysis of 25 randomized, controlled trials found that probiotics
significantly reduced the relative risk of AAD by 57%.
Probiotics & Antibiotic-Associated Diarrhea
The specific actions of the microorganisms in this product include:
• S. boulardii is a non-pathogenic probiotic yeast that has broad, versatile gastrointestinal effects. It enhances
the numbers of healthful bifidobacteria in the colon while simultaneously suppressing populations of
pathogenic clostridia.
• L. rhamnosus favorably enhances immunity, inhibits production of proinflammatory compounds, and
augments antibody responses.
• B. bifidum and B. breve are indigenous to the colon’s microflora and are highly beneficial for normal
bowel function. Because they are very sensitive to most antibiotics, replenishing their populations helps
suppress overgrowth by pathogenic microbes such as Clostridium difficile and Candida albicans.
