1. What is Lakcid Forte and what is it used for

Lakcid Forte is a powder for oral suspension. It contains Lactobacillus rhamnosusbacterial strains, which, like other lactic acid bacteria, colonize the intestinal mucosa and normalize the composition of the gut microflora, especially after its depletion due to antibiotic therapy. The results of conducted studies have confirmed that these strains survive in the gastric juice environment and are resistant to the action of bile salts, which enables them to adapt and survive in the gastrointestinal tract.
By competing for substrates and colonization sites on the intestinal mucosa and producing lactic acid as a result of anaerobic sugar decomposition, they create unfavorable conditions for the development of most pathogenic microorganisms.
These strains have natural resistance to a wide range of clinically used antibiotics.
Lakcid Forte is intended for use:

  • in post-antibiotic enteritis, with particular emphasis on supportive treatment of pseudomembranous colitis; as the main treatment for recurrent pseudomembranous colitis,
  • in the prevention of traveler's diarrhea,
  • as supportive treatment during and after antibiotic therapy.
