Continue using the medication as instructed until your doctor advises you to stop. If you are taking any other medications, particularly steroids or antibiotics, consult your doctor before starting this medicine.

Uses
Precautions and Warnings
Other General Warnings
- You are pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You have any other health-related disorders.
- You are taking any medicines or supplements.
- You have heart, liver or kidney failure.
- You have diarrhoea, and it persists for too long, consult your doctor.
- You have any planned surgery or operation.
- You should not consume it with hot liquid or beverages.
Directions for Use
- Take one VSL-3 capsule daily, or as directed by your doctor.
- Swallow the capsule whole with water after meals. Avoid taking it with hot or fizzy drinks. To maintain the effectiveness of live bacteria, store the product in the refrigerator.
Storage and disposal
- VSL 3 capsules should be stored in the refrigerator.
- Keep it away from the reach of children and pets.
- Storing these capsules at room temperature can reduce the effectiveness of probiotics.
Quick Tips
- Before starting the VSL 3 capsule, inform your doctor if you are pregnant, planning on becoming pregnant, or breastfeeding. Also, inform your doctor about all other medicines that you take and your complete medical history.
- Avoid using this capsule with antibiotics, as its effectiveness may decrease.
- During the initial phase of treatment, you may experience stomach discomfort, such as flatulence (gas), which usually subsides over time.
- Keep it refrigerated. These are live bacteria, and their count drops if the capsules are left in a warm place, making the product less effective.
- Leave at least two hours between VSL 3 and an antibiotic dose, and continue taking it after the antibiotic course finishes, when the gut flora is recovering.
- Tell your doctor before taking it if you have a weakened immune system, are on steroids or immune-suppressing medicines, have a central venous line, or have had major abdominal surgery. Live bacteria can rarely cause infection in these situations.
- See a doctor rather than continuing on your own if you have blood or mucus in the stool, fever, severe abdominal pain, persistent vomiting, or weight loss. Those need investigation.
- In diarrhoea, fluids and oral rehydration solution come first. A probiotic supports recovery but does not replace rehydration.
Ingredients and Benefits
- VSL 3 capsule is a medical probiotic food. It contains a combination of eight different types of beneficial bacteria to support the normal bacterial flora of the gut.
- VSL 3 is intended for the dietary management of certain intestinal diseases due to which nutritional requirements cannot be adequately managed through dietary modification or from a normal diet.
- VSL 3 helps in maintaining a better balance of intestinal flora by adding good bacteria and help control the harmful bacteria.
- It protects and strengthens the intestinal barrier, preventing harmful bacteria from sticking to and irritating the gastrointestinal tract.
- It also reduces the immune response and inflammation caused by harmful bacteria.
