From the Guidelines
Sporolac dosage is not explicitly mentioned in the provided evidence, however, based on general medical knowledge, the typical dosage of Sporolac, which contains Lactobacillus sporogenes (Bacillus coagulans), is one to two capsules or sachets, one to three times daily, depending on the specific condition being treated. When considering the management of acute migraine headaches, as discussed in the study from the American Family Physician 1, the focus is on the use of NSAIDs, combination analgesics, and migraine-specific drugs rather than probiotics like Sporolac. However, for digestive issues or to restore gut flora after antibiotics, the usual dose of Sporolac is one capsule taken three times daily for adults. It's essential to note that the provided evidence does not directly address the use of Sporolac for migraine treatment or its dosage in such contexts. Given the information available, if Sporolac were to be considered for a condition related to digestive health, the dosage would typically be one capsule, one to three times daily, but this is not directly related to the management of migraine headaches as discussed in the study 1. For accurate dosage and treatment duration, it's crucial to consult a healthcare provider, as they can provide personalized advice based on the specific condition being treated and individual patient needs.
From the Research
Sporolac Dosage
There is no direct information available on Sporolac dosage in the provided studies. However, the studies do provide information on the dosage of other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) used to treat primary dysmenorrhea:
- Diclofenac potassium:
- Naproxen sodium:
- 440 mg as a single, maximum non-prescription dose 4
- Diclofenac sodium:
- About 75 mg per day 5
NSAIDs for Primary Dysmenorrhea
The studies suggest that NSAIDs are effective in treating primary dysmenorrhea:
- NSAIDs were more effective for pain relief than placebo 6
- Diclofenac potassium significantly reduced menstrual pain intensity 2, 3
- Naproxen sodium was more effective than acetaminophen in relieving menstrual pain 4
- Diclofenac sodium reduced pain and menstrual bleeding in women with primary dysmenorrhea 5
