HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Super Probiotic With Acidophilus by Foods Plus
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
This supplement contains two active ingredients. Lactase is an enzyme that helps break down lactose (milk sugar) in your digestive tract—it's used mainly for lactose intolerance.
Lactobacillus acidophilus is a live probiotic bacterium that naturally lives in your gut and may support digestive and immune health. The product also contains inactive ingredients including maltodextrin, calcium sulfate, hypromellose, silicon dioxide, stearic acid, and magnesium stearate, which are fillers and binders that help form and stabilize the capsule.
Does it work?
Strong evidence
Lactase is effective for lactose intolerance—that's well established. For other uses like prematurity and colic, there isn't enough reliable evidence yet to say whether it works.
Lactobacillus acidophilus is possibly effective for irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), Helicobacter pylori infection, antibiotic-associated diarrhea, and bacterial vaginosis. For atopic disease (allergic and immune conditions), the evidence leans toward it being possibly ineffective.
For acute respiratory distress syndrome, we don't have enough data to rate it.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Both ingredients are generally well tolerated in healthy adults and children when used as directed. Lactase is likely safe in pregnancy and lactation, though checking with your doctor before regular use during pregnancy is sensible given limited data.
Rare adverse effects have been reported: lactase can cause contact dermatitis or allergic reactions in people exposed to powdered forms (mainly occupational exposure). Lactobacillus acidophilus may cause mild gastrointestinal discomfort—abdominal pain, gas, bloating, or diarrhea—though these are uncommon.
In very rare cases, the live bacteria have been isolated in serious infections like bloodstream infections or endocarditis, but these occurred in patients with underlying conditions that allowed bacteria to move out of the gut; they're not expected in healthy people.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
The main medication type to check is antibiotics. Taking them at the same time as this probiotic may reduce how well the probiotic works—spacing doses a few hours apart helps.
No other drug interactions are documented for the ingredients we could check.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glancePartially disclosed formula with strong clinical evidence behind its ingredients' uses. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
This is a reasonable choice if you have lactose intolerance or want to try a probiotic for digestive issues like IBS or antibiotic-associated diarrhea. If you're on antibiotics, separate the doses—take one in the morning and one at night to protect the probiotic's effectiveness.
Check with your pharmacist about your specific medications before starting, especially if you take blood thinners or have a compromised immune system.

Super Probiotic With Acidophilus by Foods Plus Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Super Probiotic With Acidophilus by Foods Plus contains one ingredient with documented interactions: Lactobacillus acidophilus may interact with antibiotic drugs.
Taking them together could theoretically reduce how well the probiotic works, since antibiotics can kill the live organisms in the supplement. The good news is this is a Moderate interaction, not a Major one, and it's easily managed by spacing out when you take them.

Lactase, the other active ingredient, has no known interactions with medications in our data.
Altogetherether, these interactions span 182 individual medications. That said, the practical concern here is really about timing rather than a dangerous combination—your doctor or pharmacist can help you schedule doses so they don't work against each other.
