When should Lactéol 340 mg be used to treat diarrhea?

Lactéol 340 mg is an anti-diarrheal medication of microbial origin intended for adults and children over 6 years of age. It is indicated for the symptomatic adjunctive treatment of diarrhea, always in conjunction with adequate rehydration and appropriate dietary measures.

Each capsule contains inactivated Lactobacillus LB, corresponding to Lactobacillus fermentum and Lactobacillus delbrueckii, combined with a neutralized fermented culture medium. Contrary to what its name might suggest, these are not live bacteria.

Lactéol serves as a supportive measure in the management of episodes of diarrhea. You can think of it as a supplement to the essential measures taken during diarrhea: it does not replace fluid intake or an appropriate diet.

Rehydration remains the top priority. Diarrhea leads to water loss and can also contribute to the loss of minerals. The package insert recommends drinking plenty of fluids, particularly salty or sugary beverages, to compensate for these losses.

Monitoring is still necessary during treatment. A medical consultation is recommended in the event of fever, vomiting, blood or mucus in the stool, or signs suggestive of dehydration, such as intense thirst or a dry tongue. If the condition does not improve or worsens after 2 days, seek medical advice.

In addition to Lactéol 340 mg, an appropriate oral rehydration solution can help compensate for fluid and electrolyte losses associated with diarrhea, particularly when these losses are significant.

How should this antidiarrheal medication in capsule form be used?

Our expert advice on Lactéol 340 mg for diarrhea

During an episode of diarrhea, don’t focus solely on the medication: your priority should be to replenish lost fluids. Drink fluids regularly and temporarily adjust your diet, focusing on rice and grilled meats, while avoiding raw vegetables, leafy greens, spicy foods, and chilled foods or beverages. For both children and adults, pay close attention to their overall condition and signs of dehydration. Diarrhea accompanied by extreme thirst, a dry tongue, fever, vomiting, or blood in the stool requires immediate medical attention.

INDICATIONS (summary)
This medicine belongs to the family of antidiarrheals of microbial origin. It promotes the restoration of intestinal flora.
It is used in the adjunctive treatment of diarrhea , in addition to dietary measures.
ATTENTION (summary)
If there is no improvement after 2 days of treatment, contact your doctor.
PREGNANCY and BREASTFEEDING (summary)
This medicine contains only substances presumed to be safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding. However, do not use it for prolonged periods without the advice of your pharmacist or doctor.
DIRECTIONS AND DOSAGE (summary)
The contents of the sachets must be dissolved in a glass of water or in a bottle of water.
Capsules are not suitable for children under 6 years old. Indeed, they may obstruct the airways if the child swallows badly and the capsule passes into the trachea (false route).

Usual dosage:

1 to 2 capsules or 1 to 2 sachets a day, depending on the intensity of the disorders. The dosage can be increased to 3 capsules or 3 sachets the first day.
TIPS (summary)
Diarrhea can cause dehydration, especially in young children or the elderly. This loss of water by the body must be offset by abundant drinks (broth salty, sweet drinks) because it can be the cause of fatigue, discomfort or confusion of ideas.
In the infant, two situations arise:
  • the child is breastfed: breastfeeding will be continued throughout the diarrheal period;
  • the child is not breastfed: particularly adapted rehydration solutions are available in pharmacies. They should be used for the first 3 to 4 hours after the onset of diarrhea and should be offered to the infant very regularly during this period. After this initial phase, the usual diet, including milk, will be resumed even if the diarrhea persists. The exclusion of milk, with or without lactose, is no longer part of official recommendations. In the unlikely event that you can not get a commercial rehydration solution, you can prepare a solution with 1 liter of water plus 4 teaspoons of sugar and ½ teaspoon of table salt.
    Rehydration solutions should not be used for more than half a day because they are too low in nutrients.
The diet to follow in case of diarrhea is based on a light diet, based on:
  • banana, potato, in soup or mashed potatoes;
  • pasta, rice or tapioca cooked well, rice cooking water;
  • stewed apple or quince, jelly of quince or blueberry;
  • salty or sweet biscuits.
Should be avoided: fruit juices and raw fruits, high fiber vegetables, meats, eggs, dairy products and frozen drinks.


LEXICON (summary)


diarrhea
The strict medical sense of diarrhea is "stool delivery too frequent and too abundant". In fact, common sense equates diarrhea with the notion of fluid and frequent stools. Normally, the stools are pasty, but the emission of liquid stools or barely formed, without pain or particular associated disorder, is not pathological. We can talk about diarrhea when the liquid stool emissions are repeated during the day, and that the needs are imperious or painful.
Many drugs can accelerate intestinal transit and make bowel movements more liquid, without this undesirable effect being really worrying.
Antibiotics can alter the digestive flora, essential for digestion, and cause diarrhea more or less awkward but benign. The effect appears immediately or after a few days of treatment. A form of severe and exceptional diarrhea, pseudomembranous colitis, can be observed after antibiotic treatment; this condition results in the emission of mucus and false membranes (resembling skin flaps) associated with abdominal pain; constipation may replace the initial diarrhea. Pseudomembranous colitis can occur several days after stopping antibiotic treatment and requires urgent medical advice.


infant
Child from one to 30 months. A child under one month is a newborn.


dosage
Quantity and distribution of the dose of a drug according to the age, weight and general condition of the patient.


adjunctive treatment
Treatment that complements the action of a specific treatment, but usually does not achieve healing alone.
