Introduction About PROWEL SACHET

PROWEL SACHET is a combination of Prebiotic and Probiotic which are food sources for probiotics and good microorganisms respectively. It is used to restore the bacterial balance in the digestive tract in bowel problems, lactose intolerance, irritable bowel syndrome, vaginal yeast and urinary tract infections, eczema (skin swelling), allergic disorders, and various other conditions. Poor eating habits, illness and some medicines deplete the body’s good microflora, which is important for maintaining a healthy digestive tract and promoting a healthy immune system.

Prebiotics are functional plant fibres that are found in various fruits and vegetables that act as fertilizers that enhance the growth of healthy bacteria in the gut and keep the microbiota balanced. Probiotics are good bacteria that help in fighting off too much bad bacteria in the body, improve digestion and restore normal flora.

PROWEL SACHET should be used with caution in children. Before using this medicine, inform your doctor if you have any severe illness or a compromised immune system. It is safe to use in pregnant and breastfeeding women but consult your doctor for advice before taking it. The most common side effects of taking this medicine are gas and constipation.
