About This Medication
11 DESCRIPTION VOWST (fecal microbiota spores, live-brpk) is a bacterial spore suspension in capsules for oral administration. VOWST is manufactured from human fecal matter sourced from qualified donors. Human fecal matter donations are routinely tested for a panel of transmissible pathogens. Donors do not have dietary restrictions with respect to potential food allergens. The spore suspension is generated by treating fecal matter with ethanol to kill organisms that are not spores, followed by filtration steps to remove solids and residual ethanol. Each capsule of VOWST contains between 1×10 6 and 3×10 7 Firmicutes spore colony forming units in 92 ± 4% (w/w) glycerol in saline.
