Antibiotic Associated Diarrhea

Antibiotics change the intestinal microflora, which may lead to uncontrolled growth of harmful bacteria as well as diarrhea. Incidence of antibiotic associated diarrhea varies from 5-40% depending on the type of antibiotic treatment.

Your Business Opportunities

Science shows that probiotics can help restore the healthy intestinal microflora after antibiotic treatment. 

Scientific studies using some of Chr. Hansen’s probiotic strains indicate that these strains: 

  • Reduce the risk of antibiotic side effects, including diarrhea 
  • Provide faster recolonization of the intestine after antibiotic treatment 

Using BB-12®, the depletion of Bifidobacterium is better restored after antibiotic treatment.
