Probiotic (Saccharomyces boulardii)
Pharmacology
Saccharomyces boulardii is a non-pathogenic, highly effective probiotic yeast that maintains intestinal microbiome balance. It inhibits pathogenic bacterial growth, competes for binding to intestinal epithelial cells, and neutralizes toxins. In antibiotic-associated diarrhea, it helps restore normal intestinal flora and prevents the growth of pathogens such as Clostridium difficile.
Mechanism of action
Saccharomyces boulardii competes with pathogenic microorganisms for binding sites on the intestinal wall and neutralizes their toxins. It attaches to intestinal epithelial cells, creating a protective barrier and stimulating local immunity. In antibiotic-associated diarrhea, it restores normal intestinal flora and prevents pathogen overgrowth.
