Levurin is a medicine that protects intestinal health and the intestinal microbiome from the action of antibiotics by inhibiting the growth of certain pathogens. It contains Saccharomyces boulardii and inulin, which have a synergistic action.
What is Levurin indicated for?
Levurin from Innergy is indicated to protect the intestine and intestinal microbiome from the action of antibiotics, restoring the balance of the intestinal flora. Thus, it is usually administered concomitantly with antibiotics. It also inhibits the development of certain pathogens, such as E. coli or Clostridium difficile. It also helps by reducing episodes of acute diarrhoea.
What does Levurin contain?
Levurin contains inulin and freeze-dried Saccharomyces boulardii powder. Inulin belongs to the fructan category, and Saccharomyces boulardii is a yeast resistant to intestinal and gastric juices, antibiotics and sulfonamides. Levurin has antimicrobial and antitoxic effects against various pathogens, trophic action in the intestine, anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory action.
Why is Levurin taken concomitantly with antibiotics?
Antibiotics can destroy not only harmful bacteria, but also beneficial bacteria in the intestine, leading to an imbalance. Concomitant administration of Levurin (based on Saccharomyces boulardii and inulin) with antibiotics can help maintain the balance of intestinal flora and prevent diarrhoea and other problems associated with antibiotics.
Can Levurin reduce diarrhoea?
Sometimes, antibiotic treatment can lead to imbalances in the intestinal flora, which can cause diarrhoea as a side effect. Saccharomyces boulardii can help restore the balance of beneficial bacteria in the gut and reduce the severity of antibiotic-associated diarrhoea. Inulin serves as food for beneficial bacteria in the gut. It can help increase the number of beneficial bacteria, which in turn can help maintain intestinal health and improve intestinal transit. Inulin can also aid water absorption and stool formation, which can be beneficial in cases of diarrhoea.
In what form is Levurin available?
Levurin is available in the form of soluble sachets or capsules. Such products are available both online and in pharmacies, such as Levurin Dr. Max.
What are the contraindications for Levurin?
The product is contraindicated in cases of allergy or sensitivity to any of the product's ingredients. If antifungal treatment is being followed, Levurin should be administered 4 hours after the antifungal medication. Caution is recommended in immunocompromised patients, those with central catheters or those admitted to intensive care.
How is Levurin taken? Recommended doses
The recommended doses of Levurin are 1-2 capsules or sachets per day, taken at the same time as the antibiotic. The product is suitable for children over 6 months of age and adults. In some cases, the doses may be increased by the doctor, depending on the case. The contents of a Levurin sachet should be dissolved in water, tea, yoghurt, fruit juice, purée, etc. - the liquid or product should be at the right temperature, neither hot nor very cold.
