Verification of lactovita ## Hello, Hannes! How are you? As listed by the FDA, the bacteria Lactobacillus Acidophilus is one that is naturally occurring in the body and this supplement is used to aid it back to restore the natural bacterial balance after someone has been one a course of antibiotics, or other medications that may eradicate it.

Lactovita is just an intestinal flora supplement, so there shouldn't be any harm in it, as long as her doctor approves.

Hi, my 2 years 6 months old child recently had severe diarrhea n had lost lots of weight due to it, so I ended up taking him to a pediatrician whom he gave him a lactovita tablet to be taken twice a day. So I'm concerned about what it's used for but so far it really helped since the diarrhea stopped. ## Hello, Cynthia! How is your son doing? This is actually a supplement, it is a bacteria that is naturally found in the body. Some conditions or some medications can cause the natural bacteria in the body to die off and cause diarrhea and other issues. By replacing it, the situation can often be resolved. The only side effect listed by the FDA is occasional nausea. Was your son ill recently or on any medications?

I was on Purbac treatment for my Acne for six months. I have noticed that my stommach became much bigger during this time. An irodologist said that my gall bladder was not normal therefore i was getting fatter. Could this be the side effect of Purbac? What do i do now? Is it a long term effect? ## @mervin, ive used perbac before but whenever my dermotoligist prescribed it to me she told me to buy intestinal flora meds aswell as purbac can harm ur gut so maybe its because u take purbac on its own? try meds like lactovita or eat a whole lot of wheat lol :) ## @ Olivia I have been using purbac for almost a month now. My dermatologist prescribed it for my acne. I have noticed that I perspire a lot now and my skin gets extremely oily. Is this a side effect or a sign that it is working effect...
