A member asked:

My son has 4 times loose motion. tomorrow he has exam. doctor prescribed bifilac dry syrup 5ml 2 times a day. will it be helpful? is it a antibiotic?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Probiotic: Bifilac is a probiotic which restores the normal bacteria in the gut. Children who have infectious diarrhea or some inflammatory diarrhea will have altered flora in the gut which can be changed back to normal with probiotics. This mediation will help with diarrhea but not immediately. And medication that stop diarrhea immediately are not advised and may not be safe for children with infections.
