Bifilac Dry Syrup 50 ml

Bifilac Dry Syrup is used to treat diarrhoea and various gastrointestinal conditions. The detailed uses of Bifilac Dry Syrup are as follows:

• Antibiotic-associated diarrhoea: It helps restore the healthy gut microbes that are often wiped out during antibiotic therapy, preventing loose, watery stools.
• Infectious diarrhoea: It supports the child's digestive system in fighting off harmful bacteria or viruses that cause acute stomach infections.
• Indigestion and bloating: It improves overall digestion and nutrient breakdown, reducing excessive gas, abdominal discomfort, and colicky pain in infants.
• Impaired gut immunity: It strengthens the protective lining of the intestines, helping to shield your child from recurrent stomach infections.

Bifilac Dry Syrup provides digestive support by helping maintain a healthy balance of microorganisms in the gut. It may help support recovery from diarrhoea and relieve associated digestive discomfort when used as directed.
Benefits may include:

• Bifilac Dry Syrup provides beneficial microorganisms that may help maintain or restore the natural balance of microorganisms in the digestive tract.
• By supporting gut health, Bifilac Dry Syrup may help reduce the duration or severity of diarrhoea in some children, depending on the underlying cause and the specific probiotic strains used.
• Bifilac Dry Syrup may help reduce symptoms such as gas, bloating, and abdominal discomfort associated with digestive disturbances.
• When certain probiotic strains are taken alongside prescribed antibiotics, they may help reduce the risk of antibiotic-associated diarrhoea.

• It is better to give Bifilac Dry Syrup after meals to obtain its highest efficacy or use it as advised by the doctor.
• Give 5 ml (one teaspoonful), twice a day or as directed by the doctor.
• Shake the bottle to loosen the powder. Slowly add boiled, cooled water to the mark on the bottle, then shake well. Add more water, if necessary, to adjust the volume up to the mark.
• After reconstitution, store the bottle in the refrigerator between 2ºC to 8ºC.
• Use the reconstituted suspension within five days.

• Maintain hydration: Keep your child well-hydrated by offering small, frequent sips of water or oral rehydration solutions (ORS) to help replace fluids and salts lost through diarrhoea. For significant fluid loss, ORS is generally preferred.
• Offer suitable foods: Serve soft, easy-to-digest foods such as bananas, plain rice, applesauce, and toast according to your child's tolerance. Continue age-appropriate feeding unless your doctor advises otherwise.
• Limit potential triggers: Avoid highly sugary drinks, sodas, and foods that appear to worsen your child's symptoms. Some children may also temporarily have difficulty digesting dairy products after diarrhoea.
• Practise good hand hygiene: Encourage thorough handwashing with soap and water after using the restroom and before meals to reduce the spread of germs that can cause diarrhoea.
• Keep feeding items clean: Regularly clean and sanitise your child's toys and feeding utensils to help reduce the spread of germs within the household.

• Use suitable water: Always use boiled water that has been cooled to room temperature to mix the syrup; using hot or warm water will destroy the live beneficial bacteria, making the medicine useless.
• Check before each dose: Check the reconstituted syrup before each use; do not administer it if you notice any strange odours, severe discolouration, or clumping that does not disperse after shaking.
• Separate from antibiotics: Ensure there is a gap of at least 2 hours between giving this probiotic and giving any oral antibiotic medication to prevent the antibiotic from inactivating the probiotic strains.
• Do not share the medicine: Never share this medication with other children, even if they appear to have the exact same symptoms of diarrhoea or stomach upset.
• Record the preparation date: Write the date of preparation on the bottle label so you know exactly when the reconstituted syrup should be discarded.
