Weight-based dosing considerations

Common pitfalls to avoid
- Bifilac sachet should not be administered without age-appropriate dosing determination because the regimen differs for <1 year (½ sachet BD) versus >1 year (1 sachet BD). [1]
- The sachet contents should be dissolved in water or milk rather than given as-is. [1]
Safety and follow-up
- Ongoing symptoms or poor tolerance after starting probiotics should prompt clinician reassessment. [1]
