Due to the yeast nature of Enterol®, very rare cases of fungemia have been reported (cultures of Saccharomyces have been isolated from 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.

Preparations for administration of the drug by patients and opening capsules of Enterol ® should be done with medical gloves; in case of contact with the contents of the capsules, the gloves must be disposed of immediately after their use; hands must be thoroughly washed.
