Probiotics and Stomach and Intestine Medicines

In case of diarrhea and stomach ache , drugs such as Imodium (Loperamide hydrochloride) can be used, which act by reducing bowel movements and the urge to evacuate. These over- the-counter drugs block diarrhea and significantly reduce abdominal cramps and pain , but have no effect on the cause of the symptoms (viruses, bacteria, etc.).

At the end of the diarrheal event, or when taking antibiotics, it is important to resort to probiotics (lactic ferments resistant to the pH of the stomach) such as Purocol Flor. These restore the bacterial flora and avoid the recurrence of intestinal disorders .

In case of heartburn or gastroesophageal reflux it is possible to use drugs such as Maalox (Magnesium Hydroxide and Aluminum Hydroxide). These react with the hydrochloric acid in the stomach and neutralize the gastric acid , the cause of heartburn, hyperacidity and gastroesophageal reflux.
