Shefolac Capsule is used to treat antibiotic-associated diarrhoea, infectious diarrhoea, gastroenteritis, inflammatory bowel disease, constipation, Clostridium-difficile associated diarrhoea, Helicobacter pylori infection, traveller’s diarrhoea, diarrhoea in pregnant women, and lactose intolerance.

Shefolac Capsule promotes the health of the intestine, balances the gut flora, increases gut immunity, and supports a balanced inflammatory response.

Shefolac Capsule is a combination of four probiotics, namely: Bacillus mesentericus, Clostridium butyricum, Lactobacillus sporogenes and Streptococcus faecalis.

Bacillus mesentericus inhibits the growth of pathogenic bacteria and helps in digestion by regulating abnormal movements. Clostridium butyricum interferes with the growth of pathogenic bacteria, such as Clostridium difficile. Lactobacillus sporogenes helps maintain a healthy balance of intestinal microflora. Streptococcus faecalis helps in clearing diarrhoea, stimulates the immune system, and helps balance intestinal microflora. Together, Shefolac Capsule helps treat conditions associated with dysbacteriosis.

Shefolac Capsule is generally safe and does not cause any side effects. However, sometimes, it may cause gas, bloating, abdominal discomfort, nausea, loss of appetite, and constipation. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. You are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.
