More about the Product

About Bifilac Capsule

Bifilac Capsule is a therapeutic multi-strain probiotic combination (a mixture of beneficial bacteria) designed to restore and maintain a healthy balance of bacteria in your digestive system, also known as the gut microbiome (the community of bacteria living in your digestive tract). It will be referred to as this probiotic combination. It is commonly prescribed to treat and prevent various types of diarrhoea, bloating, gas, and stomach upset. By replenishing your gut with beneficial microbes, this medicine helps improve overall digestive function and supports your natural immunity.

For the best results, you should take Bifilac Capsule consistently at the same time every day to keep a stable level of helpful bacteria in your gut. You can take this medication with or without food, but taking it with meals may help reduce any initial mild stomach discomfort. Incorporating a fibre-rich diet and drinking plenty of water will also help these beneficial bacteria thrive in your digestive tract.

While taking Bifilac Capsule , some people may experience mild digestive adjustments, such as temporary gas, bloating, or mild stomach upset. Although serious side effects are rare, you must consult your doctor immediately if you experience severe allergic reactions, persistent diarrhoea, or a high fever.

Talk to your doctor before starting Bifilac Capsule if you have a severely compromised immune system, active pancreatic disease, or a central venous catheter (a tube inserted into a large vein, often used during serious illness or chemotherapy). Do not take this if you have a known allergy to any of the ingredients in this formulation or to yeast-based products.

Antibiotic medications can kill the active bacteria in Bifilac Capsule and reduce its effectiveness, so you should space them at least two hours apart. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or managing multiple health conditions as an elderly individual, consult your doctor or pharmacist before using this medicine to ensure it is completely safe for your situation.

Uses of Bifilac Capsule

Bifilac Capsule is used to restore the natural balance of gut bacteria and support digestive health. The detailed uses are as follows:

  • Antibiotic-associated diarrhoea: Helps restore the natural gut flora destroyed by antibiotic treatments, reducing the duration and severity of loose stools.
  • Infectious diarrhoea: May help restore gut balance and support recovery in certain bacterial diarrhoeal infections. Evidence for benefits in viral diarrhoea is limited.
  • Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS): Eases chronic digestive symptoms like persistent abdominal pain, bloating, flatulence, and irregular bowel movements.
  • Digestive imbalance: Re-establishes a healthy microbial balance in the gut, which improves nutrient absorption and general digestive comfort.

Key Benefits

Bifilac Capsule helps restore the natural balance of gut bacteria and supports healthy digestion. The key benefits include:

  • Relieves digestive discomfort: Helps reduce bloating, abdominal pain, cramps, and excess gas.
  • Supports recovery from diarrhoea: Helps restore healthy gut flora, reducing the duration and severity of diarrhoea.
  • Improves gut health: Helps maintain the protective lining of the intestine and supports a healthy digestive system.
  • Enhances nutrient absorption: Supports efficient absorption of nutrients from food.
  • Promotes digestive balance: Helps maintain a healthy balance of beneficial intestinal bacteria.
Side effects of Bifilac Capsule
Here are the steps to manage Gastrointestinal Air and Swelling (GAS) caused by medication:
  • Tell your doctor about your GAS symptoms. They may change your medication regimen or prescribe additional drugs to help you manage them.
  • To manage GAS symptoms, eat a balanced diet of fibre, vegetables, and fruits.
  • Drink enough water throughout the day to avoid constipation and treat GAS symptoms.
  • Regular exercise like yoga and walking may help stimulate digestion and alleviate GAS symptoms.
  • Take probiotics only if your doctor advises, as they may help alleviate GAS symptoms by promoting gut health.
  • Take medication for GAS symptoms only if your doctor advises, as certain medications can interact with your existing prescriptions or worsen symptoms.
  • If symptoms persist, worsen, or are accompanied by severe abdominal pain, vomiting, or bleeding, seek immediate medical attention.

Directions for Use

  • Bifilac Capsule can be taken with food to enhance its stability and effectiveness.
  • Follow your doctor's instructions on the dosage and timing of this medication.
  • Swallow Bifilac Capsule as a whole with a glass of water.
  • Do not crush, break or chew it.

How Bifilac Capsule Works

Bifilac Capsule contains bacillus mesentericus, clostridium butyricum, lactic acid bacillus and streptococcus faecalis (historically known as Enterococcus faecalis), four beneficial probiotic strains that work together to restore the natural balance of the gut microbiome and support digestive health. Lactic acid bacillus produces lactic acid, creating an acidic environment that helps inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria. Clostridium butyricum is a spore-forming probiotic strain that produces butyric acid, which helps nourish the cells lining the colon and supports a healthy intestinal lining. Bacillus mesentericus helps break down complex carbohydrates, improves digestion, and promotes the growth of beneficial gut bacteria. Streptococcus faecalis helps establish beneficial bacteria in the intestine, reducing the ability of harmful microorganisms to attach to the gut lining. Together, these probiotic strains restore a healthy intestinal environment, improve nutrient absorption, relieve diarrhoea, bloating, and abdominal discomfort, and support overall digestive health.

Health Queries

Is it safe to take Bifilac probiotic capsules for a long time to help with yeast infections that keep coming back?

Vikas Singh

Vikas Singh

M Pharmacy

Hello. I completely understand how frustrating recurrent yeast infections can be. Generally, taking Bifilac probiotics long-term is safe for most people, as they help support healthy bacteria in your body. However, while probiotics can support your vaginal and gut health, they may not prevent recurrent infections on their own. It is very important to consult your doctor to identify the underlying cause of these frequent infections. They can recommend targeted treatments or specific probiotic strains best suited for you. Please take care, and don't hesitate to reach out to a healthcare professional for a personalized plan.

Can I take AD 100 and Bifilac capsules together to treat diarrhea, should Bifilac be taken before or after meals, and how long do I need to take these medicines?

Chandrakanta Jena

Chandrakanta Jena

Pharm D

Yes, you can safely take AD 100 (racecadotril) and Bifilac (probiotics) together to treat diarrhea. It is best to take Bifilac about 30 minutes before a meal, as this helps the beneficial bacteria survive and work most effectively. Typically, you should take AD 100 until your loose motions stop, usually for 3 days. Bifilac can be continued for 5 to 7 days to fully restore your gut health. Please make sure to drink plenty of fluids and ORS to stay hydrated. If your symptoms do not improve within 48 hours, please consult a healthcare professional. I hope you feel much better soon!

Is it normal to experience temporary, extreme weakness in my arms and legs after having an upset stomach 10 days ago (which I treated with Bifilac), and why does drinking ORS or Ensure help it go away even though my blood pressure is normal and I do not have diabetes?

Chandrakanta Jena

Chandrakanta Jena

Pharm D

I understand how concerning this weakness must feel. After an upset stomach, your body can lose vital fluids and electrolytes like potassium and magnesium. Even if your blood pressure is normal, these microscopic imbalances can cause temporary muscle weakness. Drinking ORS (oral rehydration salts) or Ensure quickly restores these essential minerals and nutrients, which is why you feel better so rapidly. While this is a common response to post-illness dehydration, any experience of 'extreme' weakness should be evaluated. Please consult your doctor to check your electrolyte levels and ensure your recovery is safely on track. Take care.

Could the sudden appearance of red and black poop be a side effect of taking Nitazoxanide and Bifilac capsules for my ongoing stomach pain, vomiting, and fever, or is it a sign of a more serious problem since my previous course of Ofloxacin and Ornidazole did not work?

Chandrakanta Jena

Chandrakanta Jena

Pharm D

I completely understand how worrying this must be. While nitazoxanide and Bifilac can sometimes cause mild digestive upset, sudden red or black stools are not typical side effects. Instead, they can be a sign of bleeding in your digestive tract, which is important to address, especially since your stomach pain, fever, and vomiting did not clear up with ofloxacin and ornidazole. Please do not worry, but do seek medical attention or visit an emergency room right away. A doctor needs to evaluate you promptly to ensure you receive the correct treatment and start feeling much better soon.

What is causing me to experience a heavy feeling in my stomach and chest, severe gas, and a loss of appetite after taking Bifilac, Normaxin, and Enterogermina, and why do I still have a burning sensation when passing stool?

Y. Lakshmi Thulasi

Y. Lakshmi Thulasi

Pharm-D (Post baccalaureate)

I understand this is uncomfortable, but please don't worry. The heavy feeling, gas, and loss of appetite are common side effects of your medications. Normaxin contains active ingredients that slow down your digestive system, which can lead to bloating and fullness. Additionally, probiotics like Bifilac and Enterogermina can temporarily increase gas as your gut bacteria adjust. The burning sensation when passing stool could be due to acidity or local irritation, such as a minor tear or hemorrhoid from previous bowel changes. I highly recommend discussing these symptoms with your doctor so they can safely adjust your treatment plan and ensure you find relief soon.

FAQs

Yes. Bifilac Capsule can be taken with antibiotics, but not at the same time. Antibiotics may reduce the effectiveness of the probiotic by killing the beneficial bacteria. Take Bifilac Capsule at least 2 hours before or 2 hours after your antibiotic dose. Consult your doctor or pharmacist if you need help planning your dosing schedule.
Probiotics are generally considered safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding for most people. However, you should consult your doctor before starting Bifilac Capsule to ensure it is appropriate for your individual health needs.
Generally, Bifilac Capsule is formulated to be stable at room temperature (below 25°C) and does not require refrigeration. However, you should always check the storage directions on the product packaging, as some specific formulations may have different requirements. Talk to your pharmacist if you are unsure.
Many probiotic formulations are safe for lactose-intolerant individuals, but some brands may contain trace amounts of dairy or lactose used during the manufacturing process. It is best to check the inactive ingredients on the product label or talk to your pharmacist to find a certified dairy-free option if you have a severe sensitivity.
Yes, some individuals may experience mild gas or bloating during the first few days of taking Bifilac Capsule . This is a common and temporary reaction as your digestive system adjusts to the new, healthy bacteria. These symptoms typically resolve quickly on their own. If they persist or worsen, talk to your doctor.
Stopping Bifilac Capsule suddenly is safe and will not cause withdrawal symptoms. However, if your gut microbiome has not fully recovered, your digestive symptoms might gradually return, especially if your diet or lifestyle does not support beneficial bacteria. Talk to your doctor before ending your prescribed course.
Bifilac Capsule can be highly beneficial for children experiencing diarrhoea or digestive issues, but the appropriate form and dosage must be determined by a healthcare professional. Do not give this medicine to children without consulting a paediatrician first. Talk to your doctor for guidance.
