Do BioGaia drops need to be refrigerated, and how long can they be used after opening?
Below are practical and up-to-date guidelines that have helped other users:

Storage conditions before and after opening

Most BioGaia Protectis variants can be stored at room temperature, provided this is stated on the packaging.

Store in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat sources.

Do not exceed the temperature limits specified by the manufacturer.

Refrigeration

Refrigeration is allowed but not required unless the instructions specifically say so.

After being kept in the fridge, the drops may become thicker—this is normal. Gently warming the bottle in your hands before use is sufficient.

How long drops can be used after opening

The typical period of use after opening is up to 3 months, but always check the instructions for the specific product, as requirements may vary.

Always close the bottle tightly to prevent air and microorganisms from entering.

If the drops show a significant change in color, smell, or consistency, they should not be used.

How to tell if the product has spoiled

Excessive thickening not related to cold exposure.

Presence of flakes or granules.

Damaged or unsealed packaging.

Expired shelf life.

If you were sold a product that already appeared spoiled at the time of purchase or was stored improperly, be sure to share your experience on Xolvie to protect your rights and your child’s health.
