Unless directed by your physician, do not use for longer than two days or in the presence of a high fever. Some of these are mild such as a stomach upset, which may be avoided by taking the medication with food. Minor reactions may go away on their own but if they persist, contact the physician. For major reactions, the patient should contact the physician immediately. There are no known side effects of lactobacillus.
