Is ProFloric60 okay?
Profloric60. I needed a probiotic laccid forte but they just did not have in the pharmacy and the lady brought me profloric 60. I bought it. Is this probiotic okay? It is in the supplement company and contains lyophilized bacteria lactctobacillus rhamnosus GG (ATTC 53103). Only that by entering the name of the drug in the search engine, no page appears about this supplement. What is this probiotic?

As I mentioned, due to the different registration of preparations, they cannot be directly compared. A dietary supplement should not replace a drug with a specific therapeutic indication. They should probably show a similar effect as a last resort. However, as I emphasize once again - the supplement does not cure, it only plays a prophylactic and supportive role. The therapeutic effect is shown by preparations registered as medicines. In addition, Lakcid forte contains three different strains of Lactobacillus rhamnosus in the amount of at least 10 billion CFU: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/42281/lakcid-forte-kapsulki/ulotka/169454 As for the probiotic ProFloric 60 - I am not able to find the declared amount of bacteria, because as you mentioned - the preparation is not searched in the search engine.
It's more about whether both of these probiotics work in a similar way, because they both contain the same strain of bacteria so I guess they should work similarly? And then profloric60 can replace laccid forte ?

I don't know what you mean by "Is he okay?" ProFloric60 is a dietary supplement. When placing a preparation on the market, the manufacturer should ensure that it is safe. The dietary supplement supplements the correct diet with nutrients that are missing in it. It does not have a healing effect. The indications of Lakcid forte and ProFloric60 cannot be compared. Laccid forte is a drug recommended m.in for the prevention of traveler's diarrhea: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/42281/lakcid-forte-kapsulki/ulotka/169454 You can read more about the differences between drugs and dietary supplements in the article: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/artykuly/czym-roznia-sie-leki-od-suplementow
