Hi Sir,

Welcome again,

Econorm sachets(Saccharomyces boulardii) is a probiotic and considered to be safe for most adults when taken by mouth for up to 15 months.

Long-term use may sometimes increase symptoms of IBS.

Econorm (Saccharomyces boulardii) is a fungus.Hence taking Econorm sachets with Anti-fungal drugs can reduce the efficacy.
