HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Children's Probiotic 5 Billion Cells by Flora

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.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

Generated from HelloPharmacist’s pharmacist-curated databases and editorial rules · Last generated Jul 12, 2026

What’s inside

Low disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Low

Most active ingredients don't disclose an individual amount — you can't tell how much of each you're getting.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 0 of its 7 active ingredients.
  • “Children's Probiotic Blend” is a proprietary blend — the label gives one combined amount (30.53 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.

This product contains seven active ingredients: three Lactobacillus strains (casei, plantarum, and rhamnosus), three Bifidobacterium strains (bifidum, breve, and a fourth), and Lactobacillus fermentum. These are all live beneficial bacteria meant to support digestive and immune health in children.

The inactive ingredients are potato starch, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (a capsule material), ascorbic acid, stearic acid, and silicon dioxide.

Does it work?

Moderate evidence
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed
Moderate

Some clinical evidence supports this product's ingredients for its stated purpose, but it isn't conclusive.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: healthy microflora and digestion support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Antibiotic-associated diarrhea, Colic, Constipation, Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), Lactose intolerance, Clostridioides difficile infection — and 4 related terms.
  • The strongest evidence on file: Lactobacillus Acidophilus is rated "Possibly Effective" for Antibiotic-associated diarrhea (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Lactobacillus Acidophilus is rated "Possibly Effective" for Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).
  • Also on file: Bifidobacterium Bifidum is rated "Possibly Effective" for Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).

The evidence for this product's effectiveness is mixed and depends on the condition. Lactobacillus acidophilus is possibly effective for irritable bowel syndrome, Helicobacter pylori infection, antibiotic-associated diarrhea, and bacterial vaginosis, but possibly ineffective for atopic disease.

Bifidobacterium bifidum is possibly effective for irritable bowel syndrome and respiratory tract infections. Bifidobacterium breve shows insufficient evidence for several conditions including antibiotic-associated diarrhea.

For many uses listed in the data, there simply isn't enough reliable evidence to know whether this product will help.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Lactobacillus Acidophilus Bifidobacterium Bifidum Bifidobacterium Breve

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 3 of the 3 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 3 of 3.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 3 of 3.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

The ingredients in this product are generally well tolerated in healthy children. However, since these are live microorganisms, there is a small theoretical risk of infection in children with weakened immune systems — so check with your doctor before use if your child has immune problems.

Uncommon gastrointestinal side effects like bloating, flatulence, abdominal pain, and diarrhea have been reported with probiotic combinations, though they're not common. One case of rash with itching appeared in a trial, but it's unclear whether the probiotics caused it.

Pregnancy and lactation safety data show these ingredients are possibly safe, but evidence is limited.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Lactobacillus Acidophilus Bifidobacterium Bifidum Bifidobacterium Breve

Meds to double-check

Moderate interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Moderate identified

The most serious documented interaction for these ingredients is Moderate. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 3 of the 3 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Lactobacillus Acidophilus, Bifidobacterium Breve, Bifidobacterium Bifidum.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • For scale: 182 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

If your child takes antibiotic drugs, run them through the medication checker below before starting this product — three of the four ingredients we checked interact with antibiotics and can lose effectiveness if taken at the same time. We could not check four of the seven ingredients, so review those with your pharmacist as well.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with some supporting evidence for its stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Flora's Children's Probiotic is generally well tolerated in healthy kids and may help with certain digestive issues like irritable bowel syndrome and antibiotic-associated diarrhea, though evidence is strongest for the Lactobacillus acidophilus strain. If your child is on antibiotics, separate the timing of this product and the antibiotic — talk to your pharmacist about the right schedule.

Always check with your doctor before starting probiotics if your child has a weakened immune system.

Does Children's Probiotic 5 Billion Cells by Flora interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Children's Probiotic 5 Billion Cells has a known interaction with 182 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Children's Probiotic 5 Billion Cells contains 7 active ingredients, and an interaction can come from any of them. We check every ingredient, combine the results into one list per medication, and show which ingredient and mechanism is responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
Will this probiotic work if my child is on antibiotics?
The live bacteria in this product can be killed by antibiotics, which may reduce how well the probiotic works. Ask your pharmacist or doctor to space out the timing so your child doesn't take them together — usually a few hours apart is recommended.
Are there any side effects my child might notice?
Bloating, flatulence, stomach pain, and diarrhea are rare but possible, especially early on. One case of rash and itching was reported in a trial, though it's not clear if the probiotics caused it. Most children tolerate these well.
Is it safe for children with weak immune systems?
These live probiotics generally require caution in kids with weakened immunity. Since there's a small theoretical risk of infection, talk to your doctor before starting this product if your child has immune issues.
Does this product actually help with digestive problems?
The Lactobacillus acidophilus in this blend is possibly effective for irritable bowel syndrome and antibiotic-associated diarrhea, and Bifidobacterium bifidum may help with digestive issues and respiratory infections. For many other uses, there simply isn't enough evidence yet.
Is it safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?
The ingredients in this product are rated possibly safe for pregnancy and lactation, but evidence is limited. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether it's right for your situation before use.
