Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic.
Bifilac is a probiotic contains certain bacteria to prevent diarrhea by substrate competetion.
If you give it after one month this action will not be there as th bacilli do not survive for a long time after reconstitution.
Nothing to worry.
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
Please feel free to ask any more queries if required
Take care
