Diarrhoea or loose motions in infants and small children is a discomforting and distressing condition for the patient and parent, both.
Child becomes cranky, week, inconsolable and unwell.
Parent gets worried, anxious and tired of changing nappies.
In small babies usually no antibiotic or intestinal amebicide is prescribed for common bouts of diarrhoea. Most episodes are treated with home remedies of curd, ripe banana and salt-water solution, which is good in its own way but not a substitute to appropriate medication.
And the fitting management for diarrhoea in children is nothing but Econorm.
Econorm is a natural probiotic (in powder form) that has millions of live microbes essential for digestion, metabolism and building immunity in children. It is trusted and recommended by pediatricians globally for over 50 years.
It helps in increasing the percentage of essential microbes in child’s gut and normalizes the gastrointestinal tract.
Econorm relieves and prevents frequent diarrhoea, allowing stool formation from the second day itself. It also guards the child from future diarrhea episodes for the next two months.

Now, you may be wondering what is a probiotic?
Probiotics are live bacteria and yeasts that are good for health, especially for the digestive system. Don’t panic reading the words ‘bacteria and yeast’ which you usually associate with – disease.
Probiotics are ‘good & friendly’ microbes, helpful in maintaining intestinal health.
(It is similar to the concept of ‘good cholesterol and bad cholesterol’.)
The main constituent of Econorm is a yeast, Saccharomyces Boulardi (a type of fungus). It helps to restore the intestinal microbe balance in case of diarrhea. Econorm is used in the prevention as well as treatment of diarrhea.
