To give Florastor Kids properly:

1. If using sachets, mix the powder with a small amount of water or juice.
   
   
2. For chewable tablets, give directly to the child to chew and swallow.
   
   
3. It can be taken with or without food; however, taking with food might reduce any mild stomach discomfort.
   
   
4. Continue using Florastor Kids for the full recommended course, even if symptoms improve.
   
   

Store the product in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

Florastor Kids works by adding beneficial yeast to the child’s digestive system. This yeast helps:

• Fight harmful bacteria and yeast that cause diarrhea or infections
  
  
• Restore the natural balance of gut microorganisms disrupted by illness or antibiotics
  
  
• Support digestion and nutrient absorption
  
  
• Boost the immune system through a healthy gut environment
  
  

The yeast in Florastor Kids is unique because it is not killed by antibiotics. So, it can be safely used alongside antibiotic treatment.

Florastor Kids is generally safe but may cause mild side effects in some children.

Common Side Effects:

• Mild gas or bloating
  
  
• Occasional mild stomach upset
  
  

Serious Side Effects (rare):

• Allergic reactions like rash, itching, or swelling
  
  
• Severe diarrhea or abdominal pain
  
  

If your child shows any serious side effects, stop the product and seek medical help immediately.

Before giving Florastor Kids:

• Inform your child’s doctor if your child has a weak immune system or serious health issues.

• Avoid use if the child has a history of fungal infections or implanted medical devices.

• Seek medical advice if your child’s symptoms don’t improve or worsen.

• What is Florastor Kids used for?
  It is used to support digestive and immune health in children, by helping maintain or restore healthy gut flora. 

• It may help with issues like antibiotic-associated diarrhea and general digestive imbalance. 

• What is the brand name?
  Florastor Kids® — part of the Florastor probiotic product line.

• What is the active ingredient?
  The probiotic yeast: Saccharomyces boulardii lyo CNCM I-745. 

• How does Florastor Kids work?

  • The yeast works by helping flush out unwanted gut bacteria and promoting growth of beneficial microbes. 

  • Because it’s a yeast, it is more resistant to antibiotics compared to many bacterial probiotics — making it suitable during antibiotic use. 

  • Also supports immune health through gut-associated mechanisms (e.g., promoting Immunoglobulin A production in the intestines) in some claims. 

• What type of product is it?
  A dietary supplement / probiotic (not a prescription drug) intended for children’s digestive support.

• How is Florastor Kids taken/administered?

  • Available as powder sachets (“sticks”) to mix into soft food or beverages, or capsules for older children. 

  • For infants and young children: mix contents with soft food or drink. For example: from age 2 months up depending on product version. 

  • Because it’s a live yeast culture, avoid mixing into hot (>122 °F) or carbonated beverages. 

• What forms and strengths are available?

  • Powder stick packets (sachets) for children (e.g., 250 mg of S. boulardii per stick). 

  • Bottles or boxes with multiple servings (e.g., 20-, 30-, or 60-stick packs). 

  • Some capsules versions may be available for children/older kids. 

• How long does it take to work?

  • Some children may notice improvements in digestion within a few days of consistent use, though effects vary.

  • Best benefits typically when the product is used daily and during periods of digestive upset or antibiotic use.

• What are the common side effects?

  • Mild and temporary: gas, bloating, or mild stomach rumbling as the gut flora adjusts. 

  • Since it is a yeast rather than bacteria, typical bacterial-probiotic side effects (if any) tend to be minimal.

• Are there serious side effects or risks?

  • Rare but caution is needed:

    • Allergic reactions (rash, swelling, difficulty breathing) — stop use if these occur. 

    • Use with caution in children who are severely immunocompromised or have central venous lines, as use of live microbes may pose risks. 

    • If diarrhea persists beyond expected time (especially with antibiotic use) or if more serious GI symptoms occur, seek medical review. 

• Who should not take Florastor Kids or use with caution?

  • Children with severely impaired immune systems, on intensive treatment, or with central venous catheters should consult a healthcare provider before use.

  • Children allergic to yeast or with specific contraindications should avoid use.

  • Always check with a pediatrician especially when used in infants or with other medications. 

• Can it be used during pregnancy or while breastfeeding?

  • This product is for children; use in the context of pregnancy or lactation should be discussed with a healthcare provider if relevant.

• Does Florastor Kids interact with other medications?

  • Because it is a yeast probiotic, it has fewer interactions compared to some drugs.

  • Avoid concurrent use with systemic antifungal medications (those may reduce effectiveness of the probiotic yeast). 

  • When taking antibiotics, this product may be used simultaneously because it is resistant to many common antibiotics. 

• How should I store Florastor Kids?

  • Store at room temperature, protected from moisture and heat. This version does not require refrigeration. 

  • Keep in a dry place; once mixed into food or beverage, consume within the recommended time. 

• Is there a generic or equivalent available?

  • Because it is a probiotic dietary supplement, the “generic” concept is different than prescription drugs.

  • This brand uses the specific S. boulardii strain CNCM I-745 — other probiotic products may contain different strains and are not identical. 

• Where can I get it?

  • Available over the counter (OTC) in pharmacies, health stores, and online retailers.

  • Often found in the children’s probiotic or digestive health section.
