At my hospital we prescribe Lactobacillus reuteri for older patients on broad spectrum antibiotics to reduce the risk of C. difficile infection. The brand name used is ProTectis which appears to be exactly the BioGaia product another commenter was describing.
We have actually recently stopped using protectis in this way as the evidence base is too thin to justify the cost, but suffice to say that the Biogaia protectis is sufficiently genuine to be prescribed in UK hospitals.
