HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Lacto-Plus 180 Tablets by Nutri-West
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
Partial disclosure
Lacto-Plus contains 7 active ingredients: vitamin C, lactobacillus acidophilus, apple pectin, rice bran, a proprietary blend, lactobacillus delbrueckii (labeled as bulgaricus), lactobacillus bifidus, and freeze-dried carrot. These are a mix of vitamins, fiber, and live beneficial bacteria (probiotics) intended to support digestive and general health.
The product has no listed inactive ingredients.
Does it work?
Moderate evidence
Vitamin C is effective for vitamin C deficiency and possibly effective for anemia of chronic disease, atrial fibrillation, cataracts, and reducing respiratory infections after heavy exercise. Apple pectin is possibly effective for high cholesterol but has insufficient evidence for blood sugar control.
Rice bran is possibly effective for improving cholesterol levels. Lactobacillus acidophilus is possibly effective for irritable bowel syndrome, H. pylori, antibiotic-related diarrhea, and bacterial vaginosis, though the evidence base varies.
Lactobacillus delbrueckii and lactobacillus bifidus have insufficient evidence for the conditions tested in available trials. Freeze-dried carrot is possibly effective for vitamin A deficiency.
Overall, the strongest evidence supports vitamin C for deficiency and the probiotics for specific digestive concerns.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Vitamin C is generally well tolerated at normal doses but can cause stomach cramps, heartburn, diarrhea, nausea, and headache — especially above 2 grams daily. Very high doses may raise the risk of kidney stones in susceptible people.
The probiotics are generally well tolerated but may cause bloating, gas, abdominal discomfort, or diarrhea when first taken. Apple pectin and rice bran can cause mild digestive effects like gas and loose stools.
Rare allergic reactions to pectin, rice bran, or carrot are possible in sensitive individuals. Vitamin C in pregnancy is likely safe at normal amounts but avoid high-dose supplements unless your doctor advises otherwise; safety data for the probiotics in pregnancy is limited.
For lactation, dietary amounts of vitamin C and carrot are fine, but high-dose supplements and concentrated probiotic supplements are not well studied.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Check before taking if you use warfarin or other blood thinners (vitamin C may reduce effectiveness), estrogen-based contraceptives or hormone replacement therapy (vitamin C may raise estrogen levels), chemotherapy drugs, lovastatin or other cholesterol drugs, tetracycline or other antibiotics, digoxin or other heart medications, or levothyroxine for thyroid disease. These are the medication types with documented moderate interactions.
Altogether, these interactions span 391 individual medications.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glancePartially disclosed formula with some supporting evidence for its stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
Lacto-Plus is a multi-ingredient digestive support product combining a vitamin, fiber, and live bacteria. It's most useful if you want to boost vitamin C intake or try probiotics for digestive complaints like IBS or antibiotic-related diarrhea.
If you take blood thinners like warfarin, heart medications, cholesterol drugs, tetracycline antibiotics, or oral contraceptives, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before starting — several ingredients may affect how these drugs work.

HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Lacto-Plus 180 Tablets by Nutri-West interacts with medications through its vitamin C, apple pectin, and lactobacillus acidophilus content.
The most serious interaction is vitamin C's potential to reduce warfarin (a blood thinner) levels and effectiveness — high doses may lower how well the drug works to prevent blood clots.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
Vitamin C also moderately interacts with estrogens (oral contraceptives and hormone replacement therapy), where it may raise estrogen levels by up to 55% in some cases. It can theoretically reduce the effectiveness of chemotherapy drugs like alkylating agents and antitumor antibiotics that work by generating free radicals.
Vitamin C may increase aluminum absorption from aluminum-containing compounds and can increase levothyroxine absorption, potentially requiring dose adjustment.
Apple pectin may reduce absorption of lovastatin (a cholesterol drug), tetracycline antibiotics, and digoxin (a heart medication), potentially making them less effective. Both lactobacillus acidophilus and lactobacillus delbrueckii may be killed by antibiotic drugs taken at the same time, reducing the probiotic's effectiveness.

For each ingredient in Lacto-Plus 180 Tablets with known interactions, here are the types of medications they can affect. Open any type for the detail — or search your exact drug in the checker above.
Vitamin C
Alkylating Agents
Theoretically, antioxidant effects of vitamin C might reduce the effectiveness of alkylating agents.
The use of antioxidants like vitamin C during chemotherapy is controversial. There is concern that antioxidants could reduce the activity of chemotherapy drugs that generate free radicals, such as cyclophosphamide, chlorambucil, carmustine, busulfan, and thiotepa. In contrast, some researchers theorize that antioxidants might make chemotherapy more effective by reducing oxidative stress that could interfere with apoptosis (cell death) of cancer cells. More evidence is needed to determine what effect, if any, antioxidants such as vitamin C have on chemotherapy.
Aluminum
Vitamin C can increase the amount of aluminum absorbed from aluminum compounds.
Research in animals and humans shows that vitamin C increases aluminum absorption, theoretically by chelating aluminum and keeping it in solution where it is available for absorption. In people with normal renal function, urinary excretion of aluminum will likely increase, making aluminum retention and toxicity unlikely. Patients with renal failure who take aluminum-containing compounds such as phosphate binders should avoid vitamin C supplements in doses above the recommended dietary allowances.
Antitumor Antibiotics
Theoretically, the antioxidant effects of vitamin C might reduce the effectiveness of antitumor antibiotics.
The use of antioxidants like vitamin C during chemotherapy is controversial. There is concern that antioxidants could reduce the activity of chemotherapy drugs which generate free radicals, such as doxorubicin. In contrast, some researchers theorize that antioxidants might make chemotherapy more effective by reducing oxidative stress that could interfere with apoptosis (cell death) of cancer cells. More evidence is needed to determine what effects, if any, antioxidants such as vitamin C have on chemotherapy.
Estrogens
Vitamin C might increase blood levels of estrogens.
Increases in plasma estrogen levels of up to 55% occur under some circumstances when vitamin C is taken concurrently with oral contraceptives or hormone replacement therapy, including topical products. It is suggested that vitamin C prevents oxidation of estrogen in the tissues, regenerates oxidized estrogen, and reduces sulfate conjugation of estrogen in the gut wall. When tissue levels of vitamin C are high, these processes are already maximized and supplemental vitamin C does not have any effect on estrogen levels. Increases in plasma estrogen levels may occur when patients who are deficient in vitamin C take supplements. Monitor these patients for estrogen-related side effects.
Fluphenazine (Prolixin)
Theoretically, vitamin C might decrease levels of fluphenazine.
In one patient there was a clinically significant decrease in fluphenazine levels when vitamin C (500 mg twice daily) was started. The mechanism is not known, and there is no further data to confirm this interaction.
Indinavir (Crixivan)
Vitamin C can modestly reduce indinavir levels.
One pharmacokinetic study shows that taking vitamin C 1 gram orally once daily along with indinavir 800 mg orally three times daily reduces the area under the concentration-time curve of indinavir by 14%. The mechanism of this interaction is unknown, but it is unlikely to be clinically significant in most patients. The effect of higher doses of vitamin C on indinavir levels is unknown.
Levothyroxine (Synthroid, Others)
Vitamin C can increase levothyroxine absorption.
Two clinical studies in adults with poorly controlled hypothyroidism show that swallowing levothyroxine with a glass of water containing vitamin C 500-1000 mg in solution reduces thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) levels and increases thyroxine (T4) levels when compared with taking levothyroxine alone. This suggests that vitamin C increases the oral absorption of levothyroxine, possibly due to a reduction in pH.
Warfarin (Coumadin)
High-dose vitamin C might reduce the levels and effectiveness of warfarin.
Vitamin C in high doses may cause diarrhea and possibly reduce warfarin absorption. There are reports of two people who took up to 16 grams daily of vitamin C and had a reduction in prothrombin time. Lower doses of 5-10 grams daily can also reduce warfarin absorption. In many cases, this does not seem to be clinically significant. However, a case of warfarin resistance has been reported for a patient who took vitamin C 500 mg twice daily. Cessation of vitamin C supplementation resulted in a rapid increase in international normalized ratio (INR). Tell patients taking warfarin to avoid taking vitamin C in excessively high doses (greater than 10 grams daily). Lower doses may be safe, but the anticoagulation activity of warfarin should be monitored. Patients who are stabilized on warfarin while taking vitamin C should avoid adjusting vitamin C dosage to prevent the possibility of warfarin resistance.
Acetaminophen (Tylenol, Others)
High-dose vitamin C might slightly prolong the clearance of acetaminophen.
A small pharmacokinetic study in healthy volunteers shows that taking high-dose vitamin C (3 grams) 1.5 hours after taking acetaminophen 1 gram slightly increases the apparent half-life of acetaminophen from around 2.3 hours to 3.1 hours. Ascorbic acid competitively inhibits sulfate conjugation of acetaminophen. However, to compensate, elimination of acetaminophen glucuronide and unconjugated acetaminophen increases. This effect is not likely to be clinically significant.
Aspirin
Acidification of the urine by vitamin C might increase aspirin levels.
It has been suggested that acidification of the urine by vitamin C could increase reabsorption of salicylates by the renal tubules, and increase plasma salicylate levels. However, short-term use of up to 6 grams daily of vitamin C does not seem to affect urinary pH or salicylate excretion, suggesting this interaction is not clinically significant.
Choline Magnesium Trisalicylate (Trilisate)
Acidification of the urine by vitamin C might increase choline magnesium trisalicylate levels.
It has been suggested that acidification of the urine by vitamin C could increase reabsorption of salicylates by the renal tubules, and increase plasma salicylate levels. However, short-term use of up to 6 grams daily of vitamin C does not seem to affect urinary pH or salicylate excretion, suggesting this interaction probably is not clinically significant.
Niacin
Vitamin C might decrease the beneficial effects of niacin on high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol levels.
A combination of niacin and simvastatin (Zocor) effectively raises HDL cholesterol levels in patients with coronary disease and low HDL levels. Clinical research shows that taking a combination of antioxidants (vitamin C, vitamin E, beta-carotene, and selenium) along with niacin and simvastatin (Zocor) attenuates this rise in HDL, specifically the HDL-2 and apolipoprotein A1 fractions, by more than 50% in patients with coronary disease. It is not known whether this adverse effect is due to a single antioxidant such as vitamin C, or to the combination. It also is not known whether it will occur in other patient populations.
Salsalate (Disalcid)
Acidification of the urine by vitamin C might increase salsalate levels.
It has been suggested that acidification of the urine by vitamin C could increase reabsorption of salicylates by the renal tubules, and increase plasma salicylate levels. However, short-term use of up to 6 grams/day vitamin C does not seem to affect urinary pH or salicylate excretion, suggesting this interaction probably is not clinically significant.
Lactobacillus acidophilus
Antibiotic Drugs
Theoretically, taking Lactobacillus acidophilus with antibiotic drugs might decrease the effectiveness of L. acidophilus.
L. acidophilus preparations usually contain live and active organisms. Therefore, simultaneously taking antibiotics might kill a significant number of the organisms. Tell patients to separate administration of antibiotics and L. acidophilus preparations by at least two hours.
{Lactobacillus} Bulgaricus
Antibiotic Drugs
Theoretically, taking Lactobacillus delbrueckii with antibiotic drugs might decrease the effectiveness of L. delbrueckii.
Lactobacillus delbrueckii preparations usually contain live and active organisms. Therefore, simultaneously taking antibiotics might kill a significant number of the organisms. Tell patients to separate administration of antibiotics and L. delbrueckii preparations by at least two hours.
Apple Pectin
Digoxin (Lanoxin)
Theoretically, pectin might reduce the absorption of digoxin, potentially decreasing its effectiveness.
A small clinical study shows that taking digoxin with a kaolin-pectin suspension reduces the absorption of digoxin by about 62%. It is unclear if these effects are due to pectin, kaolin, or the combination.
Lovastatin (Mevacor)
Theoretically, pectin might reduce the absorption of lovastatin, potentially decreasing its effectiveness.
Case reports suggest that concomitant use of pectin and lovastatin might reduce the cholesterol-lowering effect of lovastatin, possibly due to reduced intestinal absorption of lovastatin.
Tetracycline Antibiotics
Theoretically, pectin might reduce the absorption of tetracycline antibiotics, potentially decreasing their effectiveness.
A small clinical study shows that taking tetracycline with bismuth subsalicylate in a kaolin-pectin suspension reduces the absorption of tetracycline by about 34%. It is unclear if these effects are due to pectin, kaolin, bismuth subsalicylate, or the combination.
