Uses& Effectiveness

Side Effects & Safety

Children. Saccharomyces boulardii is POSSIBLY SAFE for children when taken by mouth appropriately. However, diarrhea in childrenshould be evaluated by a healthcare professional before using Saccharomycesboulardii. 

Pregnancy and breast-feeding: There is not enough reliable information about the safety of taking Saccharomyces boulardii if you are pregnant or breast feeding.Stay on the safe side and avoid use.

Weakened immune system: There is some concern that taking Saccharomycesboulardii might cause fungemia, which is the presence of yeast in the blood.The actual number of cases of Saccharomyces boulardii-related fungemia is hard to determine. However, the risk seems to be greatest for people who are very sick or who have weakened immune systems. In particular, people with catheters,those receiving tube feeding, and those being treated with multiple antibiotics or antibiotics that work on a wide variety of infections seem to be mostat-risk. In many cases, fungemia resulted from catheter contamination by air,environmental surfaces, or hands that have been contaminated with Saccharomycesboulardii.
