Reviews from parents
Margarita Dietary supplement Primadophilus has become a real salvation for us. The baby began to have intestinal problems from the first days of life, and intolerance to dairy products was discovered. First, we were prescribed to drink Lactase Baby, improvements came, but colic and bloating increased. They began to change to other nutritional supplements. The result was severe diarrhea (7-8 times a day). We ended up in the hospital, where we were given the necessary tests and an ultrasound to rule out possible diseases. As a result, this wonderful drug was prescribed! I diluted the powder in half a teaspoon in milk and gave it to the baby once a day. The taste is pleasant - slightly sweet, odorless. And you know, the result was simply amazing - after a week we forgot about all the problems! The treasured bottle has become a miraculous remedy that we now cannot do without. The baby is now 2 years old, but I don’t stop giving him the drug. I noticed that he suffers from colds much less often than other children. I strongly recommend it to everyone!
Elena My daughter started having intestinal problems at the age of 2, after a course of antibiotic treatment. As the doctor explained to me, medications “killed” the beneficial microflora. And he prescribed me to take children's Primadophilus for recovery. I carefully read the instructions, was amazed at the high content of beneficial bacteria, and learned that there are no contraindications. I was not too lazy to read reviews on the Internet, everyone unanimously praised the nutritional supplement. We started taking it. The result is that all symptoms completely disappeared on the fourth day. We continued the appointment, so we were prescribed a course of 14 days. If there are any problems (diarrhea, nausea, bloating), I run to the pharmacy for the remedy. If given at the first symptoms, it cures instantly! My husband also took the drug, but in capsules.
