HelloPharmacist Scorecard of ABC Dophilus Powder by Solgar
Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.
What’s inside
Low disclosure
ABC Dophilus Powder contains 3 active probiotic ingredients: a blend containing B. lactis, BB-12, S. thermophilus, TH-4, and L. rhamnosus LGG — all live beneficial bacteria meant to support digestive health. The powder also contains maltodextrin as an inactive ingredient.
Does it work?
Not established
The evidence for these probiotics isn't well established in the data we hold. S. thermophilus, TH-4 is listed with insufficient reliable evidence for antibiotic-associated diarrhea, bacterial vaginosis, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, constipation, diabetes, and diabetic kidney disease.
For the other two ingredients, we don't have effectiveness ratings on file.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
S. thermophilus, TH-4 is generally well tolerated in healthy people, but if you have a weakened immune system, check with your doctor first. Live probiotic supplements come with a small risk — in rare cases, people with central lines, severe illness, or very weak immunity have developed serious infections.
Healthy people with intact immune systems who don't have indwelling catheters face much lower risk. For pregnancy and breastfeeding, safety data on probiotic supplements is limited.
Food sources of probiotics are generally considered acceptable, but talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking a supplement during pregnancy or nursing — the evidence on this product specifically isn't on file.
Meds to double-check
No known interactions
No interactions are documented in our data for the ingredients we could check. That said, we don't hold interaction information on two of the three probiotics in this blend, so run your exact medications through the search tool on this page to be sure.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. No medication interactions are currently documented, and safety information is well characterized.
ABC Dophilus is a straightforward probiotic blend with no documented drug interactions we can verify. It's generally well tolerated in healthy people.
If you have a weakened immune system, are severely ill, or have indwelling catheters, talk with your doctor first. Check with your pharmacist before starting if you're pregnant, nursing, or on any medications.
