Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
Sporolac and bifilac contain dormant spores of the bacterial flora required for our gut.
Taking pantocid regularly for many years may cause some osteopenic changes but taking it for short term dos not produce any such side effects. Please do not worry.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
