Suggest Duration Of Taking Providac Capsules

For how many months we can take providac capsules? I had taken the same for 4 months now. Though I feel good but somebody told me that I should not have taken for so long. I am worried now. I used to get stomach upsets resulting in hospitalisation very frequently buT after I started to use it I am fine.

Hello,

Let me tell you that providac contains lactobacillus which is used in several conditions such as gastric upset with antibiotic use, diarrhea etc and it is also true that providac can be used for a longer period of time without much bad effect.

But as your stomach is perfectly alright and you are not taking any antibiotics, and you've already used it for 4 months, there is no need to continue providac anymore.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
