Probiotic to prevent diarrhea from antibiotics in children
Part of Infections, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests whether giving children a probiotic called Saccharomyces boulardii alongside their antibiotic can prevent diarrhea that often comes with antibiotics. It may help children aged 6 months to 5 years who are taking co-amoxiclav for a cold or upper respiratory infection.

This trial tests if a daily probiotic (Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus CRL1505) can help prevent upper respiratory infections (like colds and sore throats) in healthy children ages 3 to 12. If your child often gets sick, this supplement might reduce how often they catch a cold.
This trial tests whether a single-strain probiotic (Bacillus Clausii) works better than a multi-strain probiotic for treating acute watery diarrhea in children aged 1 to 5 years. It aims to find which option helps children recover faster.
This study tests if a probiotic called Bifidobacterium Breve can help prevent stomach problems (like diarrhea or upset stomach) caused by common antibiotics (amoxicillin or amoxicillin with clavulanic acid) in children aged 3 to 12. If it works, this could make antibiotic treatment easier to tolerate.
This trial tests whether a probiotic called LGG (a type of good bacteria) helps children with sudden diarrhea from an infection feel better faster. It is for children who have had diarrhea for less than 48 hours and have not taken probiotics or antibiotics recently.
This trial tests whether a probiotic supplement called Lactéol® is safe for children with weakened immune systems who have diarrhea. The study aims to help manage diarrhea and improve outcomes for these children.
This trial tests whether taking probiotics can help young children recover faster from common colds. If your child has a mild or moderate cold and is not taking other probiotics, they may be able to join.
