1. What is Enterol and what is it used for

Enterol is an oral anti-diarrheal medicine, whose active substance is lyophilized Saccharomyces boulardiiyeast, classified as probiotics, i.e. living microorganisms that provide health benefits to the host organism.
The intestinal bacterial flora consists of billions of microorganisms. Maintaining the balance of the intestinal microflora is necessary to ensure the proper functioning of the digestive tract, such as:
digestion, resistance to infections, and strengthening the natural immune system.
The balance of the bacterial flora is delicate and can be disrupted by many factors:
gastrointestinal infections, both viral and bacterial, taking certain medications, including antibiotics, changes in dietary habits. This can lead to a range of digestive problems leading to diarrhea.
Enterol is a medicine that affects the intestinal flora, a so-called "natural flora substitute", which allows for the temporary imbalance to be balanced.
Enterol is used in:

  • treatment of acute infectious diarrhea
  • prevention of antibiotic-associated diarrhea
  • recurrent diarrhea caused by Clostridium difficileinfection, as an adjunct to vancomycin or metronidazole treatment
  • prevention of diarrhea associated with enteral nutrition
  • prevention of traveler's diarrhea
  • supportive treatment of diarrhea in irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)

If after 2 days there is no improvement or the patient feels worse, consult a doctor.

2. Important information before taking Enterol

When not to take Enterol:

  • if the patient is allergic to the active substance or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6)
  • if the patient has a central venous catheter (see section Warnings and precautions)
  • Patients with significantly reduced immunity or hospitalized (due to severe illness or immunodeficiency)

Warnings and precautions

Before taking Enterol, discuss it with your doctor or pharmacist.
It is not recommended to open capsules near patients with a central venous catheter to prevent unwanted fungal colonization of the catheter, especially through contaminated hands. There have been reports of very rare cases of fungemia (fungal penetration into the blood) with accompanying fever and positive blood culture results, even in patients not treated with Saccharomyces boulardii. In all reported cases, fungemia resolved after antifungal treatment or, if necessary, after removal of the central venous catheter.
As a supplement to treatment, it is recommended:
adequate hydration of the body (rehydration) by consuming large amounts of salty or sweet drinks, to compensate for fluid loss caused by diarrhea (average daily water intake for an adult is 2 liters)
maintenance of an appropriate dietary regimen, excluding certain foods, such as:
fruits, green vegetables, spicy dishes, frozen food, chilled drinks; however, it is recommended to consume grilled meat and rice; consider limiting the consumption of milk and dairy products.
Seek medical attention immediately if:

  • there is no improvement after 2 days of treatment
  • fever, vomiting
  • blood or mucus appears in the stool
  • excessive thirst, dry mouth: these are symptoms of impending dehydration, i.e. significant fluid loss due to diarrhea. Contact a doctor who will decide on the need for oral or intravenous rehydration.

Enterol and other medicines

Tell your doctor or pharmacist about all medicines you are taking, have recently taken, or plan to take.
Do not take Enterol at the same time as oral antifungal medicines (medicines used to treat fungal infections).

Enterol with food, drink, and alcohol

Enterol contains live cells. Therefore, it should not be mixed with very hot (above 50°C) or cold liquids, foods, and alcohol, as this may destroy the yeast cells.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding

If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, think you may be pregnant, or plan to have a child, consult your doctor or pharmacist before taking this medicine.
Due to the lack of data, it is not recommended to use the medicine during pregnancy.
Saccharomyces boulardiiis not absorbed into breast milk. Due to the lack of data, it is recommended to consider the benefit-risk ratio before taking Enterol during breastfeeding.

Driving and using machines

The medicine does not affect driving or using machines.

Enterol contains lactose

If you have been diagnosed with an intolerance to some sugars, consult your doctor before taking the medicine.

Missing a dose of Enterol

Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed dose.
If you have any further doubts about taking this medicine, consult a doctor or pharmacist.
