Lakcid (Lactobacillus Rhamnosus)

Lactobacillus rhamnosus, the active ingredient in Lakcid, is a probiotic presented as a dietary supplement for oral use. It is intended to support normal gastrointestinal function and to help prevent diarrhea associated with antibiotic therapy.

Lakcid is a probiotic that acts on the gastrointestinal microbiota to promote digestive health. - Support of normal gastrointestinal function: helps maintain a balanced intestinal flora. - Prevention of antibiotic‑associated diarrhea: reduces the risk of diarrhea during or after antibiotic treatment. - General digestive health maintenance: contributes to regular bowel movements and reduced abdominal discomfort.

Adverse reactions to Lakcid are generally uncommon but may occur.

Common Side Effects: - Mild abdominal bloating: transient increase in gas or feeling of fullness. - Soft stools: occasional loose stools that resolve without intervention. - Mild nausea: slight queasiness after ingestion.

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Allergic reaction: rash, itching, swelling, or difficulty breathing. - Sepsis in immunocompromised patients: rare systemic infection. - Overgrowth infection: rare cases of Lactobacillus bacteremia.

When using Lakcid, consider the following precautions. - Immunocompromised individuals: consult a healthcare professional before use. - Underlying gastrointestinal disease: monitor symptoms and seek advice if condition worsens. - Pediatric use: dosage and safety should be determined by a pediatrician. - Pregnancy and breastfeeding: discuss with a physician to assess risk. - Storage: Store at room temperature below 25°C: keep in the original container, protect from moisture and direct sunlight.
