Reviews

Oksana
Our pediatrician prescribed the medicine Bifidumbacterin Forte to the son. The child ate a watermelon, after which he developed a severe allergy in the form of a small, itchy rash. In addition to the drug, it was necessary to wipe his son with tincture of calendula and give him Fenistil. In the package of Bifidumbacterin Forte there were 30 bags of powder, each of them is designed for 5 uses. I gave the child one sachet 3 times a day, after diluting the powder in cool water. The taste of the medicine is neutral, the son drank normally, did not whimper. After three days of use, the rash began to pass, and after 4 days there was no trace of allergy on the skin. I recommend the drug, it is effective and fairly budget!

I think many have experienced dysbiosis after taking antibiotics. In this situation, you need to drink probiotics, the doctor prescribed me Hilak Forte, but I did not feel much improvement after using it. I again went to the doctor who advised me to try Bifidumbacterin Forte. I can only say that I did not regret the use of this particular medicine at all: after two doses, the intestines began to normalize, and soon the digestive tract began to function normally. I did not breed the powder in water, but in kefir. The taste of this became even better, and the effect did not diminish at all.
