Is It Safe To Take Providac For Diarrhea Caused Due To Abdominal Infection?
sir, good morning. recently my doctor has prescribed providac. i had an infection in my abdomen for which i had bad and loose motion for two days. after taking satarogyl + ofloxacin I m well but too fit. i like to have a trouble free digestion and good clearance of stool. now tell me, should I take providac capsules as my doctor has prescribed it ?
Providac capsules are probiotics that help to reboot your gut with lactobacillus. studies have been controversial about their efficacy. however many people take it and feel good and scientists are not sure whether it is placebo effect or drug effect. However, mostly it is sure that they do not cause much harm if you are immunologically competent. So my advice would be to take it. Its like taking 5 bowls of curd in 1 capsule. I hope this advice helps. wish you a healthy life ahead.
