About Vibact-DS Capsule

Vibact-DS 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 in conditions like irritable bowel syndrome. Vibact-DS Capsule may also be used in allergic disorders, obesity, common cold, eczema, inflammatory arthritis, vaginal yeast infections, and urinary tract infections. Vibact-DS Capsule promotes the health of the intestine, balances the gut flora, increases gut immunity, and supports a balanced inflammatory response.
 
Vibact-DS Capsule is a combination of four probiotics, Bacillus mesentericus, Streptococcus faecalis, Lactobacillus sporogenes, and Clostridium botulinum type A. Bacillus mesentericus inhibits the growth of pathogenic bacteria and helps in digestion by regulating abnormal movements. 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 sporogenes 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.  Clostridium botulinum type A is an attenuated preparation that interferes with the growth of pathogenic bacteria like Clostridium botulinum and induces an immune response that protects the gut from botulism, a type of food poisoning. Together, Vibact-DS Capsule helps treat conditions associated with dysbacteriosis.
 
Take Vibact-DS Capsule as recommended. Vibact-DS Capsule is generally safe and does not usually cause any side effects. However, sometimes, it may cause gas, bloating, abdominal discomfort, nausea, loss of appetite, and constipation.
