Prolaxan

Indications

Probiotics are composed of various microorganisms, including yeast like Saccharomyces boulardii and bacteria such as Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium. These microorganisms, also known as “flora,” are naturally present in areas like the stomach, intestines, and vagina. Certain factors, such as antibiotic use or travel, can disrupt the natural balance of bacteria and yeast. Probiotics help restore digestive health and rebalance the flora. They are commonly used to alleviate digestive issues like diarrhea, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), eczema, vaginal yeast infections, lactose intolerance, and urinary tract infections. Probiotics can be found in foods such as yogurt, milk, juices, and soy beverages, as well as in dietary supplements like capsules, tablets, and powders. Each product has specific uses, so always check the label for detailed information.
Note: Some dietary supplements may contain harmful additives or impurities. Always consult your pharmacist for guidance on the specific brand you are using. The FDA has not evaluated Prolaxan for safety or effectiveness. For personalized advice, consult your healthcare provider.
Always follow your doctor’s or pharmacist’s recommendations for use.

  Always follow your doctor’s or pharmacist’s recommendations for use.
