Good morning. I'm looking for a probiotic that is a medicine, not a dietary supplement, that will fully protect adults in the event of a trip to Egypt (lactobacillus acidophilus, bifidobacterium bifidum, sacharomyces boulardi strains). Similarly, we would like to protect our son (1.5 years old). Best regards

If you travel to areas where there is a risk of gastrointestinal infections, probiotics can be useful in supporting a healthy gut flora. However, it's worth remembering that probiotics are mostly registered as dietary supplements, not medicines.
The strain of Sacharomyces boulardi contain:
Enterol: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/27293/enterol-250-kapsulki/apteki
Lakcid Entero: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/117524/lakcid-entero-kapsulki/apteki
The Lactobacillus acidophilus strain contains:
Trilac: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/79914/trilac-kapsulki/apteki
The Bifidobacterium bifidum strain is not registered as a drug.
In the case of a child as young as 1.5 years old, the choice of probiotic should be especially careful. Manufacturers of probiotics for children usually offer special products tailored to the needs of small organisms. The best-studied probiotic strain is Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG, which contains:
Acidolac Baby Drops (Dietary Supplement): https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/1692/acidolac-baby-krople-krople/apteki
Dicoflor Baby Drops (Dietary Supplement): https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/107702/dicoflor-baby-krople/apteki
