About Lupigut Capsule

Lupigut Capsule is 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. Lupigut Capsule may also be used in allergic disorders, obesity, common cold, eczema, inflammatory arthritis, vaginal yeast infections, and urinary tract infections. Lupigut Capsule promotes the health of the intestine, balances the gut flora, increases gut immunity, and supports a balanced inflammatory response.
 
Lupigut Capsule is a combination of four probiotics: Bacillus mesentericus, Clostridium butyricum, Lactic acid bacillus, and Streptococcus faecalis. Bacillus mesentericus inhibits the growth of pathogenic bacteria and helps in digestion by regulating abnormal movements. Clostridium butyricum interferes with the growth of pathogenic bacteria like Clostridium difficile. Lactic acid bacillus helps maintain a healthy balance of microflora in the intestine, thereby improving the gastrointestinal ecology.

Streptococcus faecalis helps clear diarrhoea, stimulates the immune system, and helps balance intestinal microflora. It also helps reduce symptoms in lactose-intolerant patients. Together, Lupigut Capsule helps treat conditions associated with dysbacteriosis.
