Not many side effects, all they are is the normal good bacteria that's supposed to be in your stomach.
Sometimes people take them to offset the effects of antibiotics.
Antibiotics kill off the good bacteria so probiotics (ecoflora) try to replace that good bacteria.
While some studies have shown many health benefits of probiotics, more research still needs to be done to be sure that they are safe and effective as a supplement and in foods. This is especially true for children, pregnant women, elderly people, and people with compromised immune systems. For people with suppressed immune systems due to disease or treatment for a disease (such as cancer chemotherapy), taking probiotics may actually increase your chances of getting sick. Always speak with your doctor before taking any supplement under these circumstances.
Probiotics doesn't have much of side effects if taken with precautionary note. Probiotics like ecoflora should not be given to already ill patients with apart from diarrhea as it may worsen health and may be fatal too like acute pancreatitis and in childrens if usage is more it may lead to sensitivity of allergens.Not major side effects for Probiotics like ecoflora caps,just it if it really needed over dosage may lead to constipation.
Ayurvedic capsules usually do not have any side effects, but it all depends on the manufacturer, if they use something which is not permitted in ayurvedic medicines. If you wish to buy these capsules buy the one manufactured by a reputed manufacturer.
