Introduction
Bactinice is a prescription medication that combines several active ingredients, including Fructo Oligosaccharide, Lactobacillus crispatus, Lactobacillus gasseri, Lactobacillus jensenii, and Lactobacillus rhamnosus. These ingredients work together to support a healthy balance of bacteria in the digestive system.
Uses
Bactinice is primarily used to maintain and restore the natural balance of bacteria in the gut. It can be beneficial for individuals who experience digestive issues, such as bloating, gas, or irregular bowel movements. It may also be prescribed to support overall gut health and improve digestion.

Follow the instructions provided by your healthcare professional or as indicated on the product label. Generally, the capsules are taken orally with water, preferably before or during a meal.

Bactinice works by introducing beneficial bacteria into the gut. The active ingredients, Fructo Oligosaccharide and the various strains of Lactobacillus (crispatus, gasseri, jensenii, and rhamnosus), help restore the natural balance of bacteria in the digestive system.
