Can Live Combined Bacillus Subtilis Granules be taken for a long time?
My child always has a poor appetite and digestive issues; can I give them Clostridium butyricum and Bacillus subtilis live bacteria granules on a long-term basis?
Doctor's answer (1)
Bacillus clausii and bifidobacterium live bacteria granules are used for indigestion, loss of appetite, malnutrition, diarrhea, constipation, bloating, abnormal intestinal fermentation, enteritis caused by intestinal flora imbalance, and intestinal mucosal damage caused by antibiotic use.
Below are potential effects of long-term use of Bacillus clausii and bifidobacterium live bacteria granules:
1. Intestinal flora imbalance: Long-term use of Bacillus clausii and bifidobacterium live bacteria granules may directly affect the regulation of intestinal flora. Once the medication is discontinued, it may easily lead to imbalanced intestinal flora proportions and poor nutrient absorption as side effects.
2. Drug side effects: Long-term use of Bacillus clausii and bifidobacterium live bacteria granules may cause adverse drug reactions such as diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and rash.
3. Risk of infection: Patients with impaired immune systems may face an increased risk of infection from long-term, high-dose use of Bacillus clausii and bifidobacterium live bacteria granules.
4. Concealment of certain digestive system problems: Over-reliance on Bacillus clausii and bifidobacterium live bacteria granules rather than improving intestinal health through dietary adjustments may mask certain digestive system issues, delaying diagnosis and treatment of the underlying condition.
