PHARMACOLOGICAL CLASSIFICATION:
CATEGORY D 32.2: OTHER SUBSTANCES OR AGENTS

PHARMACOLOGICAL ACTION:
When ingested on a regular basis, probiotics should improve or normalise the microbial balance in the human intestines and thereby improve the functioning of the digestive tract/gut.

The lyophilised lactic acid bacteria Lactobacillus rhamnosus is a beneficial bacterium that colonises in the human intestinal tract and is a normal inhabitant of the healthy intestine. Lactobacillus strains are most active in the small intestine, particularly in the ileum whilst the Bifidobacterium strains are most active in the colon. Lactic acid bacteria also colonise in the vagina, cervix and urethra.

Lactic acid bacteria are tolerant to bile and gastric acid and are therefore able to pass through the upper gastro-intestinal tract and colonise in the small intestine and colon. Within the intestines these bacteria have the ability to adhere to the intestinal epithelium where they help restore the balance of the intestinal microflora, stimulate the production of antimicrobial compounds (such as acidolin, acidophilin, lactocidin and bacteriocin), inhibit pathogenic micro-organisms, positively influence the immune system and assist in the production of vitamins. They also help complete the digestion of food particles not digested in the small intestine, such as in lactose intolerant individuals or fibres resistant to the digestive enzymes encountered in the small intestine. The metabolic end products of their growth are organic acids (lactic and acetic acids) that lower the pH of the intestinal contents, creating conditions less desirable for harmful bacteria.

Bifidobacterium lactis has been proven to exert numerous beneficial effects including, but not limited to aiding in: the alleviation of lactose intolerance, alleviation of diarrhoea associated with antibiotic treatment, reduction of rotavirus induced diarrhoea, reduced incidence of traveller’s diarrhoea and the reduction of candida colonisation and infection.

INDICATIONS:
PROBIOTIC ORAL SPRAY: when ingested on a regular basis, probiotics should improve or normalise the microbial balance in the human intestines and thereby improve the functioning of the digestive tract/gut.

PROBIOTIC ORAL SPRAY assists in the restoration and maintenance of the intestinal microflora and is therefore beneficial in instances where there is an imbalance of intestinal flora such as:
• The restoration of the intestinal microflora during and after antibiotic therapy;
• Diarrhoea associated with antibiotic use;
• Infectious diarrhoea, including traveller’s diarrhoea and diarrhoea associated with rotavirus and Clostridium difficile infection;
• Lactose intolerance;
• Irritable Bowel Sydrome and Inflammatory Bowel Disease;
• Constipation;
• Oral candidiasis (yeast infections).
A varied and balanced diet with a healthy lifestyle is of utmost importance.
