Question
Can you recommend a good probiotic tablet for me and let me know how long I should take it? My doctor suggested I take rifagut 200mg, but I forgot to ask for how many days I should be on it. Could you let me know the duration and dosage guidance?

Culturelle Daily Probiotic (contains Lactobacillus GG) Align Probiotic (contains Bifidobacterium 35624) Florastor Probiotic (contains Saccharomyces boulardii) The duration of probiotic use can vary, but many people take them daily for 1-2 weeks to support gut health, and some may continue longer, depending on their needs.
Please speak with your doctor to confirm the correct duration and dosage
