What is it?
ENTEROL 250 POWDER FOR ORAL SUSPENSION COMPOSITION Active substance: Yeast Saccharomyces boulardii CNCM I 745 (lyophilized cells) 250 mg. Excipients: Lactose monohydrate, fructose, colloidal anhydrous silica, "Tutti-Frutti" flavor (flavoring substance, maltodextrin (corn), sorbitol syrup E420, gum arabic/acacia gum E414, butylated hydroxyanisole E320, methyl eugenol, safrole). USE Saccharomyces boulardii CNCM I 745 is a probiotic, meaning it is a microorganism beneficial to the body. The intestinal flora consists of billions of microorganisms. Its balance is necessary to maintain certain important functions of the digestive tract (GIT) such as food processing, fighting infectious agents, stimulating and strengthening immune defense. However, this balance is fragile and can be disrupted by many factors, such as intestinal infections caused by viruses or bacteria, treatment with certain drugs, for example, antibiotics; changes in dietary habits, which can cause various digestive problems, such as diarrhea. ENTEROL 250, powder for oral suspension is a "substitute flora" preparation that allows compensation for transient imbalances of the intestinal flora.
