What are Biflor Sachets?

Biflor Sachets are a multi-strain probiotic supplement containing live Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium species formulated to restore and maintain healthy gut flora. They support the natural balance of the intestinal microbiome disrupted by antibiotics, infection, or poor diet. Available as an OTC digestive health supplement.

How Do Biflor Sachets Work?

The live probiotic bacteria in Biflor colonise the intestinal mucosa, competitively excluding harmful pathogens and replenishing depleted beneficial flora. Bifidobacterium strains support the large intestine, while Lactobacillus species act throughout the small and large bowel — together they normalise stool consistency, reduce transit time abnormalities, and modulate mucosal immune responses.

Uses of Biflor Sachets

Used for antibiotic-associated diarrhoea (AAD), infectious diarrhoea, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), and general gut dysbiosis. Also used as adjunct therapy during or after antibiotic courses to prevent disruption of healthy gut flora.

Dosage & Administration

Dissolve one sachet in a small amount of lukewarm water or milk and consume immediately. Take once or twice daily as directed by your doctor or pharmacist. Can be taken with or without food. Course duration is typically 5–14 days depending on indication. Consult your healthcare provider for paediatric dosing.

Side Effects

Generally very well tolerated. Mild bloating, gas, or transient change in stool consistency may occur in the first 2–3 days as the gut flora adjusts. These effects usually resolve without intervention.

Precautions

OTC supplement — safe for adults and children under medical guidance. Use with caution in severely immunocompromised patients. Do not mix with hot liquids as heat destroys live bacteria. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keep away from children unless under supervision.
