About Prefiber Capsule
Prefiber Capsule belongs to the class of probiotics used to treat conditions such as diarrhoea, irritable bowel syndrome, and antibiotic-associated diarrhoea. Diarrhoea is a condition characterised by loose and watery stools with a frequent need to have a bowel movement. An irritable bowel syndrome is a group of intestinal symptoms that occur together.
Prefiber Capsule is a combination of probiotics (live strains of bacteria that keeps the body healthy) and prebiotics (types of fibre that act as food for friendly bacteria). Prefiber Capsule helps to restore good bacteria in the intestines. Thereby, it prevents diarrhoea and loss of beneficial bacteria due to prolonged intake of antibiotics or infections in the intestine.
Take Prefiber Capsule as prescribed by your doctor. You are advised to take Prefiber Capsule for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you based on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience fever, nausea, soft stools, bloating, flatulence (gas) or stomach cramps.

If you are allergic to Prefiber Capsule or any other medicines, please tell your doctor. Consult a doctor before taking Prefiber Capsule if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Prefiber Capsule is not recommended for children unless advised by a doctor. Avoid alcohol consumption with Prefiber Capsule as it increases the risk of adverse effects.
