I have been giving BioGaia to my baby for 3 weeks. I notice that the symptoms have diminished, i.e. he has practically no more cramps and he now has regular bowel movements (1x a day). How long can I use this product?

Hello Mrs,

It is recommended not to administer this product without medical advice for more than 3 weeks (ref. https://biogaia.ca/fr/produits/gouttes-probiotiques/). I therefore invite you to discuss this medication with your baby's doctor in order to continue taking it safely.

Good day,

Alexandre Chagnon, pharmacist
