DISCLOSURE: Voshell's Pharmacy is a licensed compounding pharmacy that prepares and sells compounded medications by prescription. As a provider of competing products, our perspective may be influenced by our professional and commercial interests.
ProFlora Compound is the name Voshell's Pharmacy uses for compounded preparations that may include specific Lactobacillus strains, selected Bifidobacteria, and in some formulations prebiotic fibers, supplied as oral capsules and/or vaginal suppositories, prepared in response to a valid prescription from a qualified prescriber. Compounded medications are not reviewed by FDA for safety or effectiveness before dispensing and are prepared by a licensed pharmacist only in response to a valid prescription for an individual patient.
Details
- How it works: According to the NIH Office of Dietary Supplements, certain Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium strains have been studied for their involvement in local pH maintenance and interaction with mucosal immune responses.
- Prescriber-directed use: A qualified prescriber determines whether this preparation is appropriate for an individual patient based on patient-specific clinical assessment and a valid prescription.
- Formulation & dosing: Oral and vaginal forms are available; dose and duration are individualized by the prescriber based on patient-specific needs.
- Safety considerations: Mild gastrointestinal or local irritation has been reported; patients with severe immunosuppression should consult a specialist before use.
- Compounding: Compounding pharmacies may customize strains, doses, and delivery forms when commercially available products do not meet the needs of an individual patient with a valid prescription.

Key Product Features
Lactobacillus Strains
- According to the NIH Office of Dietary Supplements, Lactobacillus species are involved in vaginal and gastrointestinal microbial balance, including their role in local pH maintenance and competition with other microorganisms. Inclusion of these strains in a compounded preparation does not establish clinical benefit for any disease, condition, or patient outcome.
Bifidobacterium Strains
- According to the NIH Office of Dietary Supplements, Bifidobacterium species are involved in gastrointestinal microbial colonization and have been studied for their interaction with intestinal mucosal immune responses and stool consistency. Inclusion of these strains in a compounded preparation does not establish clinical benefit for any disease, condition, or patient outcome.
Prebiotic Fibers
- According to the NIH Office of Dietary Supplements, certain fermentable dietary fibers play a role in selectively supporting the growth of beneficial intestinal bacteria and are involved in short-chain fatty acid production and colonic environment. Inclusion of prebiotic fibers in a compounded preparation does not establish clinical benefit for any disease, condition, or patient outcome.
Post-Antibiotic Microbial Recovery Ingredients
- According to the Natural Medicines database, combinations of Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium strains have been studied for their potential involvement in restoring intestinal microbial diversity following antibiotic exposure. Inclusion of these strains in a compounded preparation does not establish clinical benefit for any disease, condition, or patient outcome.
