Some medicines, certain diseases, travel and stress can cause an upset in the balance of microorganisms in your body. Florastor® helps maintain the balance in your intestines and is safe to take with other medicines.

What is Florastor®?

Yes. Florastor® only contains a small amount of lactose (32.5 mg, this is 1/3 of the lactose found in 1 slice of cheese) and has been successfully taken by people who can’t eat lactose. Florastor® has been shown to increase levels of lactase in the intestine, which helps with the digestion of lactose. If you have more questions, please speak to your health care professional.
