probiotics in SNF

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

Just wondering which probiotics you all are using. In my facility the

doctors mostly use lactinex, and I've seen a few residents come in from

the hospital on florastor. Why would one be chosen over another? I

see that florastor is a yeast vs. a bacteria and shouldn't be taken w/

antifungals. I know the ideal approach would be to choose the type of

probiotic on a case-by-case basis but in reality likely wouldn't happen

here. Which brands are you using? Do your doctors order them for

everyone on antibiotics, or just when diarrhea or other GI issues arise?

Thanks! Just want to get a sense of what is being done out there!
