- Title
Use of priobiotic Lactobacillus preparation to prevent diarrhea associated with antibiotics: randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial.
- Abstract
The article presents a reprint of an article related to a clinical trial undertaken to prevent diarrhea through the priobiotic lactobacillus preparation, which was published in the online issue of the "British Medical Journal." A randomized clinical trial was conducted on patients above 50 years who were prescribed antibiotics and were able to consume food orally. It was found that a probiotic drink can considerably decrease the risk for diarrhea and C. difficile infection.
