Supplement during pregnancy

I got these from the pharmacy. The pharmacist said it is fine to take Probiotic, Lacfido 10 Bil to ease my bowel movement. Have been having constipation. I am pregnant, first trimester. Kindly advice.

Thank you for your questions. The following answers regarding your current queries are just general description. Click on this link (DoctorOnCall) for a private consultation with our doctors.

Probiotics have been used to treat bowel problems such as diarrhea or irritable bowel. Probiotics are probably safe during pregnancy. However, because there is a variety of probiotics and limited research, probiotics cannot be declared safe completely.

Even though this medication can be purchased from pharmacies over-the-counter, we highly suggest that you still refer to health professionals including the pharmacist regarding the suitability of the medication for your existing health status.
