When Recommending Visbiome® to Patients

Be sure to discuss the following with your patients:

• Some strains of bacteria found in Visbiome may be inactivated by certain antibiotics. Advise your patients not to consume Visbiome® within 4 hours after taking antibiotics. 
  
• Side effects associated with Visbiome® may include mild abdominal bloating, typically within the first few days of taking the probiotic. This is related to a physiological adaptation of the microflora and should diminish within 3-4 days. If bloating persists, reduce your patient’s intake for a few days.
• Consult with patients who are pregnant or lactating before they consider using Visbiome® or any other medical food product.
• Visbiome® and Visbiome® Extra Strength may contain trace amounts of lactose (less than 0.1g per 100g) and dehydrated skim milk or milk protein (casein and beta-lacto globulin of less than 2mg/Kg).
  
• Visbiome® Unflavored contains cornstarch. All other forms of Visbiome® do not.
