An indication is a term used for the list of condition or symptom or illness for which the medicine is prescribed or used by the patient. For example, acetaminophen or paracetamol is used for fever by the patient, or the doctor prescribes it for a headache or body pains.

There are specific as well as general uses of a drug or medicine. A medicine can be used to prevent a disease, treat a disease over a period or cure a disease. It can also be used to treat the particular symptom of the disease. The drug use depends on the form the patient takes it. It may be more useful in injection form or sometimes in tablet form. The drug can be used for a single troubling symptom or a life-threatening condition. While some medications can be stopped after few days, some drugs need to be continued for prolonged period to get the benefit from it.Probiotics contain different types of micro-organisms such as yeast (saccharomyces boulardii) and bacteria (such as Lactobacillus (Barotic-Z), bifidobacterium). Micro-organisms (flora) are naturally found in the stomach/intestines/vagina. Some conditions (such as antibiotic use, travel) can change the normal balance of bacteria/yeast. Probiotics are used to improve digestion and restore normal flora.
Probiotics have been used to treat bowel problems (such as diarrhea, irritable bowel), eczema, vaginal yeast infections, lactose intolerance, and urinary tract infections.
Probiotics are available in foods (such as yogurt, milk, juices, soy beverages) and as dietary supplements (capsules, tablets, powders). Different products have different uses. Check the label for information on uses for your particular product.
Some diet supplement products have been found to contain possibly harmful impurities/additives. Check with your pharmacist for more details regarding the particular brand you use.
The FDA has not reviewed this product for safety or effectiveness. Consult your doctor or pharmacist for more details.

What other drugs will affect Lactobacillus (Barotic-Z)?
Lactobacillus (Barotic-Z) acidophilus is sensitive to anti-infective agents.
The effects of some drugs can change if you take other drugs or herbal products at the same time. This can increase your risk for serious side effects or may cause your medications not to work correctly. These drug interactions are possible, but do not always occur. Your doctor or pharmacist can often prevent or manage interactions by changing how you use your medications or by close monitoring.
To help your doctor and pharmacist give you the best care, be sure to tell your doctor and pharmacist about all the products you use (including prescription drugs, nonprescription drugs, and herbal products) before starting treatment with this product. While using this product, do not start, stop, or change the dosage of any other medicines you are using without your doctor's approval.
Some medications that may interact with certain probiotics include: antibiotics, antifungals (such as clotrimazole, ketoconazole, griseofulvin, nystatin).
This document does not contain all possible drug interactions. Keep a list of all the products you use. Share this list with your doctor and pharmacist to lessen your risk for serious medication problems.

What other drugs will affect Zinc (Barotic-Z)?
Pyridoxine reduces the effects of levodopa (but this does not occur if a dopa decarboxylase is also given); decreases serum concentrations of phenobarbitone. Concurrent administration of drugs eg, isoniazid, penicillamine and oral contraceptives increase the requirement for pyridoxine.
Absorption of cyanocobalamin from the GIT may be reduced by neomycin, aminosalicylic acid, histamine H2-receptor antagonists and colchicine. Serum concentrations may be decreased by concurrent administration of oral contraceptives. Many of these interactions are unlikely to be of clinical significance but should be taken into account when performing assays for blood concentrations.
Parenteral chloramphenicol may attenuate the effect of vitamin B12 in anaemia.
Folate deficiency states may be produced by a number of drugs including antiepileptics, oral contraceptives, antituberculous drugs, alcohol and folic acid antagonists eg, aminopterin, methotrexate, pyrimethamine, trimethoprim and sulphonamides; folic acid may decrease serum-phenytoin concentrations.
There may be an increased risk of myopathy or rhabdomyolysis when nicotinic acid is used concurrently with statins. Nicotinamide may increase the requirements for insulin or oral hypoglycaemics.
Ascorbic acid may increase the absorption of iron-deficiency states.
Ascorbic acid is often given in addition to desferrioxamine to patients with iron overload (thalassemia) to achieve better iron excretion. However, early on in treatment when there is excess tissue iron, there is some evidence that ascorbic acid may worsen the iron toxicity, particularly to the heart. Thus, ascorbic acid should not be given for the first month after starting desferrioxamine treatment.
The absorption of Zinc (Barotic-Z) may be reduced by iron supplements, penicillamine, phosphorus-containing preparations and tetracyclines. Zinc (Barotic-Z) supplements reduce the absorption of copper, ciprofloxacin, iron, norfloxacin, penicillamine and tetracyclines.

What are the possible side effects of Zinc (Barotic-Z)?
Applies to Zinc (Barotic-Z) sulfate: capsules, tablets
Check with your doctor if any of these most COMMON side effects persist or become bothersome:
Nausea; vomiting.
Seek medical attention right away if any of these SEVERE side effects occur while taking Zinc (Barotic-Z) sulfate (the active ingredient contained in Zinc (Barotic-Z))
Severe allergic reactions (rash; hives; itching; difficulty breathing; tightness in the chest; swelling of the mouth, face, lips, or tongue); severe vomiting; unusual restlessness; very dry mouth, eyes, or skin.
Lactobacillus (Barotic-Z) is a genus of Gram-positive facultative anaerobic or microaerophilic bacteria. They are a major part of the lactic acid bacteria group, named as such because most of its members convert lactose and other sugars to lactic acid. They are common and usually benign. In humans they are present in the vaginal and the gastrointestinal tract, where they are symbiotic and make up a small portion of the gut flora. Many species are prominent in decaying plant material. The production of lactic acid makes its environment acidic, which inhibits the growth of some harmful bacteria. Several members of the genus have had their genome sequenced.
Each capsule/sachet contains lyophilized Saccharomyces boulardii (Barotic-Z) 282.5 mg corresponding to yeast 250 mg and lactose 32.5 mg.
Zinc (Barotic-Z) Capsule: Each capsule contains Zinc (Barotic-Z) sulphate monohydrate 54.93 mg, thiamine nitrate 10 mg, riboflavin 10 mg, pyridoxine hydrochloride 3 mg, vitamin B12 (coated) equivalent to cyanocobalamin 15 mcg, ascorbic acid 150 mg, folic acid 1 mg, nicotinamide 50 mg and calcium pantothenate 12.5 mg.
