Interaction

Special Instructions

If after two days of using Enterol® for treatment of acute diarrhea there is no improvement, as well as in case of fever, blood or mucus in stools, you should immediately consult a physician. A feeling of thirst and dry mouth are signs of inadequate rehydration (not drinking enough).

Due to the yeast nature of Enterol®, very rare cases of fungemia have been reported (cultures of Saccharomyces were isolated from the blood), mostly in patients who had a central venous catheter, in patients who were extremely ill or had immunodeficiency states, which was often accompanied by fever (elevated body temperature). In most cases, the outcome was satisfactory after discontinuation of treatment, administration of antifungal therapy, and removal of the catheter, if necessary. However, in some patients whose condition was severe, the outcome was unfavorable.

Particular caution should be exercised when handling the drug in the presence of patients with central and peripheral venous catheters, even if they are not treated with Enterol®, care should be taken to avoid the risk of contamination by contaminated hands or airborne spread of microorganisms.

Influence on driving and operating ability:

Enterol® does not affect the ability to drive or engage in other potentially dangerous activities requiring increased concentration and rapid psychomotor reactions.
