✔️ Pharmacology

Probiotics like Prolaxan contain beneficial microorganisms such as yeast (Saccharomyces boulardii) and bacteria (e.g., Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium), which naturally occur in the stomach, intestines, and vagina. Certain factors, such as antibiotic use or travel, can disturb the balance of these microorganisms. Probiotics are used to restore this natural balance, improve digestion, and help treat conditions like:

• Diarrhea (including antibiotic-associated diarrhea)
• Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)
• Vaginal yeast infections
• Lactose intolerance
• Urinary tract infections (UTIs)
• Eczema

Probiotics can be found in foods like yogurt, milk, and juices or as dietary supplements in forms like capsules, powders, or tablets.

✔️ Dosage & Administration of Prolaxan

• General use as a dietary supplement: 1 capsule daily.
• With antibiotics: 1 capsule twice daily during antibiotic treatment and for one week after.
