Yomogi Capsule

HOW YOMOGI WORKS

After taking Yomogi or Yomogi 250 mg, high counts of non-pathogenic viable yeast cells (S. boulardii) reach the intestine. S. boulardii does not colonise the intestinal tract. For this reason, S. boulardii is no longer detectable in the stools 4 to 6 days after the medication has been discontinued.

DOSAGE

Yomogi is generally dosed as follows:

Diarrhea:

Take 1–2 hard gelatine capsules Yomogi daily with a sufficient amount of liquid before meals.

For the prophylaxis of travellers' diarrhea:

Take 1–2 hard gelatine capsules Yomogi daily for 5 days prior to departure.

CHILDREN UNDER 6 YEARS

Children under 6 years of age should take the hard gelatine capsule Yomogi as follows: open up the two halves of the capsule and stir the contents into food or a liquid (room temperature).

PRACTICAL TIPS

In order to ensure the full benefit with Yomogi or Yomogi 250 mg, continue treatment for a few days after the diarrhea has ceased.

If microbiological stool examinations are carried out during therapy with Yomogi or Yomogi 250 mg, this should be communicated to the responsible laboratory to avoid false-positive results.

Do not take Yomogi or Yomogi 250 mg with antimycotics.

Yomogi and Yomogi 250 mg can be combined with antibiotics and is therefore ideal for the treatment of diarrhea associated with antibiotics.
