Product introduction
Probiotics are live microorganisms, while prebiotics are substrates intended to support selected microorganisms. Their effects depend on the exact strains, dose, storage and condition being addressed; results from one formulation cannot automatically be applied to another.
BIFIZO should be used according to its approved label and should not delay assessment of persistent diarrhoea, bleeding, fever, severe pain or dehydration.
Important contextThis page explains the composition and general ingredient context. The approved local product label remains the authority for indication, dose, contraindications and monitoring.

MechanismHow it works
Probiotic organisms may influence the intestinal microbial community, produce metabolites and interact with immune signalling. Prebiotics are intended to provide substrates for selected microbes. These effects vary substantially between strains and formulations, so the exact label matters.
