How Actiflora Capsule works

Probiotics are live beneficial microorganisms that help restore the balance of gut flora. They inhibit growth of harmful bacteria, support digestion and improve intestinal barrier function, which can reduce diarrhoea and abdominal discomfort.

How to take Actiflora Capsule

Capsule for oral use. Take as directed by physician; commonly 1 capsule once or twice daily, preferably after food. Swallow whole with water; if on antibiotics, take probiotics at least 2 hours apart.

Take it exactly as your doctor prescribed. Do not change the dose or stop early on your own.

Missed dose and overdose

If you miss a dose

Take the missed dose of Actiflora as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for the next dose, skip the missed one and carry on with the usual schedule. Do not take two doses together to make up for a missed dose.

If you take too much

Taking more Actiflora than prescribed can be harmful. If you suspect an overdose, contact a doctor or go to the nearest emergency department at once, and carry the pack or strip with you. In India the emergency number is 112.
