Bififlora Capsule 10's

Bififlora Capsule belongs to the group of medicines called probiotics used to treat dysbacteriosis, antibiotic-associated diarrhoea, infectious diarrhoea, gastroenteritis, inflammatory bowel disease, constipation, Clostridium-difficile associated diarrhoea, Helicobacter pylori infection, traveller’s diarrhoea, diarrhoea in pregnant women, and lactose intolerance. Bififlora Capsule may also be used in allergic disorders, obesity, common cold, eczema, inflammatory arthritis, vaginal yeast infections, and urinary tract infections. Bififlora Capsule promotes the health of the intestine, balances the gut flora, increases gut immunity, and supports a balanced inflammatory response.
 
Bififlora Capsule is a combination of four probiotics, namely: Clostridium butyricum,  Streptococcus faecalis, Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bacillus mesentericus. Clostridium butyricum interferes with the growth of pathogenic bacteria like Clostridium difficile. Streptococcus faecalis helps in clearing diarrhoea, stimulates the immune system, and helps balance intestinal microflora. It also helps reduce symptoms in lactose-intolerant patients. Lactobacillus helps maintain a healthy balance of microflora in the intestine, thereby improving the gastrointestinal ecology. It also helps in maintaining healthy lipid levels by incorporating cholesterol into its cellular structure. Bacillus mesentericus inhibits the growth of pathogenic bacteria and helps in digestion by regulating abnormal movements. Together, Bififlora Capsule helps treat conditions associated with dysbacteriosis.
