Frequently asked questions
What is Mycequin used for?
Mycequin provides Saccharomyces boulardii, a beneficial yeast that offers targeted digestive support and helps maintain a balanced microbiome, particularly during or after antibiotic treatment.
Can Mycequin be given with antibiotics?
Yes. Because Saccharomyces boulardii is a yeast, it is not affected by antibacterial antibiotics the way bacterial probiotics can be, so it can be given alongside them. Follow your veterinarian's guidance.
How is Mycequin different from Proviable?
Mycequin is a single-organism yeast probiotic (Saccharomyces boulardii), while Proviable is a multi-strain bacterial probiotic. Mycequin is often selected for targeted support during antibiotic therapy.
Can cats take Mycequin?
Yes. Mycequin is formulated for both cats and dogs; cats and dogs under 15 lbs receive 1 capsule daily.
