FAQs
Is Florimax Capsule a probiotic?
Yes, Florimax Capsule is a probiotic, the opposite of an antibiotic. Probiotics are ‘good bacteria’ which help to maintain digestive health and boost the immune system. Generally, Probiotics are used in cases where the normal bacteria are killed due to some disease or medicine. For example, taking antibiotics can kill the disease-causing bacteria as well as normal bacteria present in the gastrointestinal tract. Hence, to counter such imbalance of good bacteria taking probiotics while you are on antibiotics can help.
Can Florimax Capsule cause diarrhea?
Generally, Florimax Capsule are considered safe when taken by mouth appropriately. However, in some people, it can cause stomach upset which may result in diarrhoea, bloating and flatulence (accumulation of gas).
How long should Florimax Capsule be taken?
Usually, full benefits with Florimax Capsule can be observed in one month. This is because a minimum of four weeks are required to allow the colonisation of the gut by good bacteria to become stable. However, you need to keep a record if there is an improvement in your symptoms or not. The dose of the medicine should be taken as recommended by your doctor or the manufacturer.
Can I take antibiotic and probiotic at the same time?
Taking antibiotics along with Florimax Capsule might reduce the effectiveness of Florimax Capsule. To avoid this interaction keep minimum of 2 hours gap (before or after) between the two.
