- Indigestion and flatulence.
- Irregular bowel movements.
- Diarrhoea.
Benefits of Vizylac Capsule
By topping up the good bacteria in the intestine, this capsule can help ease common digestive complaints such as gas, indigestion, loose stools and irregular bowel habits. A healthier gut flora also supports nutrient absorption and the gut's own defence against harmful germs.
Side effects of Vizylac Capsule
Most side effects do not require medical attention and go away as your body adjusts. Consult your doctor if they persist.
- Usually well tolerated, with no commonly reported side effects.
- Mild bloating or gas may occur in some people during the first few days.
How to use Vizylac Capsule
Take the capsule exactly as directed by your doctor or pharmacist, swallowing it with water. If you are also taking an antibiotic, ask your pharmacist how to space the doses. Do not exceed the advised dose or duration.
How Vizylac Capsule works
The capsule contains spores of lactic acid bacillus, a beneficial organism. Once in the intestine, it multiplies, competes with harmful microbes for space and nutrients, and helps the gut's natural flora recover, which supports digestion and absorption.

Quick tips
- Store the strip in a cool, dry place away from sunlight and moisture.
- Keep the capsules out of the reach of children.
- If diarrhoea is severe, lasts more than two days, or comes with fever or blood in stool, see a doctor instead of relying on a probiotic alone.
- Drink enough fluids if you have loose stools, since a probiotic does not replace oral rehydration.
