VSL#3® is believed to be compatible with all types of drugs. If you take it with antibiotics, it will not harm you but the effects of VSL#3® will be reduced. This is because antibiotics can inactivate the beneficial bacteria in VSL#3®.

When you start taking VSL#3® you may experience bloating while the balance of bacteria in your digestive tract changes. If you experience bloating, you may need to reduce your daily intake to allow for this adjustment.

Packets should be stored in the fridge (2 - 8°c). If unopened and stored in the fridge, the product can be used up until the ‘Best if used by’ date. VSL#3® can be stored at room temperature (up to 22°c) for up to 7 days.
