About Biflora Capsule

Biflora 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. Biflora Capsule may also be used in allergic disorders, obesity, common cold, eczema, inflammatory arthritis, vaginal yeast infections, and urinary tract infections. Biflora Capsule promotes the health of the intestine, balances the gut flora, increases gut immunity, and supports a balanced inflammatory response.
 
Biflora 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. It also helps maintain healthy lipid levels by incorporating cholesterol into its cellular structure. Streptococcus faecalis helps clear diarrhoea, stimulates the immune system, and helps balance intestinal microflora. It also helps reduce symptoms in lactose-intolerant patients. Together, Biflora Capsule helps treat conditions associated with dysbacteriosis.
