Q. Who should not take Sacharom Sachet?
Individuals should not take Sacharom Sachet if they are allergic to yeast or any of the ingredients present in it, have a central venous catheter, are critically ill, or have a weak immune system.
Q. Can Sacharom Sachet cause serious side effects?
Although they are rare, serious side effects of Sacharom Sachet may include severe allergic reactions such as swelling of the face or throat, difficulty breathing, or anaphylaxis. Rare cases of bloodstream infection (fungemia or sepsis) have also been reported in very sick or immunocompromised patients.
Q. Is Sacharom Sachet safe for people with weak immunity?
No. Sacharom Sachet is not recommended for immunocompromised patients or those with central lines (catheters), because it can enter the bloodstream and cause infections.
Q. What should I do if my diarrhea does not improve with Sacharom Sachet?
If your diarrhea continues for more than two days while taking Sacharom Sachet, consult your doctor. You may need further medical evaluation or additional treatment, especially if you are losing fluids quickly.

Q. Why should Sacharom Sachet not be mixed with very hot or cold drinks?
Sacharom Sachet contains live yeast cells, which can be destroyed by very hot drinks (above 50°C), ice-cold drinks, or alcohol. To keep the probiotics effective, always mix them with room-temperature food or drinks.
Q. Is Sacharom Sachet safe for children?
Yes. Sacharom Sachet can be used in both adults and children, but the dose should be followed carefully. However, children with weak immunity, serious illness, or catheters should avoid it.
