Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
Sporolac powder is a probiotic which contains useful bacterias which are normally present in our intestines. During conditions like diarrhea there is loss of the normal gut flora from intestines which causes other malabsorption problems. Generally giving probiotics help faster recovery with diarrhea.
It can safely given to pregnant women too. There is no contraindication in pregnancy.
Mix 1 XXXXXXX in water and drink it. It can be given 2-3 times a day. But do not take more than for 3 days.
I hope I have answered your query well.
If you have any questions kindly ask me back.
Thank you
