Avoid any contact between Codex and the catheter (including airborne spread of spores), as the active substance (the fungus \u003cem\u003eSaccharomyces boulardii\u003c\/em\u003e ) can enter the bloodstream and rapidly multiply, resulting in an infection. \u003cbr\u003eIn fact, in patients with central venous catheters, even if not treated with \u003cem\u003eSaccharomyces boulardii\u003c\/em\u003e , very rare cases of fungemia (spread of yeast in the blood) have been reported, which very often manifests itself with fever and positive results in tests for strains of Saccharomyces. All these cases resolved favorably following treatment with drugs against fungi (antifungals) and, where necessary, removal of the catheter.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003ePossible side effects\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Like all medicines, this medicine can cause side effects, although not everybody gets them.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eRare\u003c\/b\u003e (may affect up to 1 in 1,000 patients):\u003cbr\u003e - presence of gas in the intestine (flatulence).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eVery rare\u003c\/b\u003e (may affect up to 1 in 10,000 patients):\u003cbr\u003e - Penetration of yeast into the blood (fungemia);\u003cbr\u003e - Allergic reactions such as:\u003cbr\u003e - swelling of the face (angioedema);\u003cbr\u003e - itching;\u003cbr\u003e - hives (urticaria); \u003cbr\u003e- localized or generalized redness of the skin (rash);\u003cbr\u003e - severe, rapidly occurring allergic reaction (anaphylactic reaction or shock).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eFrequency not known:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e - Constipation (constipation);\u003cbr\u003e - Severe blood infection (sepsis).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eReporting of side effects\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e If you get any side effects, talk to your doctor or pharmacist.
