Doctor’s Review – Dr. Rabia Anwar, Consultant Gastroenterologist:
Hilact probiotics are helpful in restoring gut balance after antibiotics and can improve bloating, stool regularity, and overall digestive comfort in conditions like IBS or recurrent infections. They serve as supportive therapy, not a replacement for antibiotics, and should be used with caution in immunocompromised patients or those with critical illness.
