What is Bioflor?

Bioflor is a brand medication that contains Saccharomyces boulardii, which is a type of yeast known as probiotics. It works by inhibiting the activities of infection-causing bacteria and reducing the signal pathway that causes inflammation in the body. It is therefore used to treat acute infectious diarrhea and prevention of antibiotic-associated diarrhea.
