Saccharomyces boulardii is a probiotic yeast used in the prevention and treatment of antibiotic-associated diarrhea, infectious diarrhea, and other gastrointestinal disorders. It works by restoring the balance of intestinal flora, inhibiting the growth of pathogenic microorganisms, and stimulating the local immune response.
Saccharomyces boulardii is administered orally, usually in the form of capsules or powder, and is indicated for patients at risk of intestinal microbiota imbalance. It is commonly used in combination with antibiotics to prevent antibiotic-associated diarrhea and reduce the risk of infections such as Clostridioides difficile.
Common side effects include bloating and abdominal discomfort. In rare cases, systemic fungal infections may occur, particularly in immunocompromised patients. It is important for patients to follow medical advice and avoid taking it with hot beverages or alcohol, which can inactivate the yeast.
Saccharomyces boulardii is a safe and effective therapeutic option for maintaining gastrointestinal health and preventing complications associated with microbiota imbalance.
