Levurin, 250 mg, 12 capsules

Properties:
- Saccharomyces boulardii is a yeast resistant to the action of gastric and intestinal juices, antibiotics and sulfonamides, but sensitive to the action of systemic and oral antifungals (the Saccharomyces boulardii Lesaffre CNCM I – 3799 strain from the Levurin product is genetically identical with the strain Hansen CBS 5926);
- Saccharomyces boulardii reaches equilibrium concentrations within 3 days (in the small intestine and colon) and is eliminated within 3-5 days after the administration is stopped because it is not part of the commensal bacterial flora;
- Saccharomyces boulardii can act in the intestine through several methods and can have a pathogenic antitoxin effect (C. difficile, E. coli, Vibrio cholerae), an antimicrobial effect, can have a trophic action on the intestinal mucosa - favors the maturation of intestinal mucosa cells, can have anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory action.

Method of administration:
One capsule 2 times/day, simultaneously with the antibiotic, in children older than 6 years and adults.
It is recommended to take it 4 hours apart from the antifungal treatment.
