Probiotics to prevent antibiotic-related diarrhea in pneumonia
Part of Infections, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests whether taking probiotics (good bacteria) can prevent diarrhea that often happens when people take antibiotics for pneumonia. By taking a daily probiotic during your hospital stay, you may have fewer stomach issues and feel better.

This trial tests whether probiotics (good bacteria) can help prevent serious infections in critically ill patients in the ICU. If you are very sick and in the ICU, you may be able to join — as long as you don't have certain conditions like cancer or a weakened immune system.
This trial tests whether giving probiotics (beneficial bacteria) helps children aged 6 to 36 months recover from pneumonia while they are in the hospital. The study aims to see if adding probiotics to standard treatment improves outcomes.
This trial tests whether a postbiotic (a product made from beneficial bacteria) called Lactéol® is safe for children with diarrhea who have weakened immune systems. It aims to help manage diarrhea and improve recovery.
This trial tests whether probiotics can help prevent stomach and gut side effects from chemotherapy in children with leukemia. If your child is between 6 and 17, in the right phase of treatment, and doesn't have any major gut issues, they may be eligible.
This trial tests whether giving probiotics (good bacteria) can help prevent pneumonia in children who are on a breathing machine in the intensive care unit. If your child is on a ventilator, these friendly bacteria might help keep their lungs healthy.
This study tests whether giving a probiotic (a type of healthy yeast) called Saccharomyces boulardii can prevent diarrhea that often happens when children take the antibiotic co-amoxiclav. If your child is taking this antibiotic for a respiratory infection, this probiotic might help keep their stomach and digestion normal.
