Lyoflora Capsule is used to treat and prevent diarrhoea, including rotaviral diarrhoea in children. Lyoflora Capsule may also be used for acne, antibiotic-associated diarrhoea, Clostridium difficile-associated diarrhoea, Helicobacter pylori infection, traveller’s diarrhoea, diarrhoea in people with HIV/AIDS, and necrotising enterocolitis (a serious intestinal disease in premature infants).
Lyoflora Capsule contains ‘Saccharomyces boulardii’, a friendly micro-organism that helps fight disease-causing organisms in the gut, such as yeast and bacteria. Thereby, Lyoflora Capsule helps in treating diarrhoea. Lyoflora Capsule helps restore the balance of intestinal bacterial flora and strengthens immunity and overall gut health.
