How should Mama Ai be taken?

Feeding newborns can be highly stressful. Some newborns are unaccustomed to bottle-feeding, and when gastrointestinal issues arise, parents may choose “Mami Ai” (a probiotic preparation) to help regulate their baby’s digestive system. So, how should “Mami Ai” be administered?

How to Administer “Mami Ai”

“Mami Ai” is a pediatric-specific medication. For children under two years of age, the recommended dose is one sachet per administration, once or twice daily. For children aged two years and older, the typical dose is one to two sachets per administration, once or twice daily. It should be mixed with lukewarm water or milk at a temperature below 40°C before oral administration. “Mami Ai” contains two live bacterial strains—Bacillus subtilis and Enterococcus faecium—which help replenish the body’s normal physiological gut flora, inhibit pathogenic bacteria, and promote digestion and absorption of nutrients.

If “Mami Ai” is being used concurrently with antibiotic therapy, an interval of at least two to three hours should be maintained between oral administration of antibiotics and “Mami Ai” (or other probiotics). This helps minimize the inactivation of the live bacteria in “Mami Ai” by antibiotics, thereby reducing the impact of antibiotics on its efficacy.

Probiotics play a vital and indispensable role in regulating and maintaining intestinal health. However, they are effective only when used appropriately. To achieve optimal benefits, probiotics must be used correctly. If other medications are required during probiotic use, consult a physician first to avoid potential drug interactions. Parents are advised to use probiotics properly. We hope this article has been helpful to you!
